That
Priyadarshan's
Billoo
Barber
is
a
remake
of
the
Malayalam
super-hit,
Katha
Parayumbol,
is
something
that
we
had
told
you
long
back,
when
the
film
was
on
the
verge
of
being
announced.
And
similarly
it's
old
news
that
superstar
Rajinikanth's
Kuselan
(which
too
is
the
remake
of
Katha
Parayumbol)
released
early
this
month,
to
a
bumper
response
at
most
places.
So
are
we
rehashing
old
media
reports?
No,
not
exactly!
The
reason
that
we
are
going
into
flashback
mode
is
because
there
is
news
that
the
Shahrukh
Khan
-
Irrfan
Khan
starrer,
Billoo
Barber
may
see
a
few
changes,
now
that
Kuselan
has
been
liked
by
the
masses.
Actually
Priyadarshan
has
been
observing
the
reactions
and
reports
of
Kuselan
minutely
and
may
go
in
for
a
few
changes
which
might
even
involve
re-shooting.
Since
the
scheduled
date
for
the
release
of
Billoo
Barber
is
24th
October,
Priyadarshan
has
enough
time
on
hand
to
go
ahead
with
the
changes,
if
any.
Meanwhile
for
those
who
are
not
aware,
Billoo
Barber
has
Irrfan
Khan
playing
the
title
role
and
Shahrukh
Khan
essaying
an
extended
guest
appearance,
a
role
of
about
45
minutes
with
2-3
item
numbers.
Well,
hopefully
that
should
be
enough
to
satisfy
the
countless
fans
of
Bollywood's
global
superstar
when
Billoo
Barber
releases
on
Diwali.
