Rajinikanth
starrer
Kuselan
is
all
set
for
release
world
over
on
August
15th.
Looking
at
the
unexpectedly
crazy
response
Rajini's
last
film
Shivaji
got
at
the
box
office
all
over
India
even
from
non-Tamil
speaking
audience,
the
makers
of
Kuselan
had
decided
upon
releasing
it
in
its
Hindi
dubbed
version
simultaneously.
But
now
it
seems
like
the
Baadshah
is
afraid
of
the
Emperor!
Both
Kuselan
and
Shahrukh
Khan
produced
and
starring
Billoo
Barber
directed
by
Priyadarshan
are
remakes
of
Malayalam
hit
film
Katha
Parayumbol
which
had
Mammootty
in
the
lead.
The
story
lines
of
both
are
exactly
the
same
to
that
of
the
original.
Both
the
Hindi
and
Tamil
remakes
feature
a
song
where
in
the
lead
stars
(Ranjii
and
Shahrukh)
appear
in
20
various
looks.
If
Kuselan
releases
in
Hindi
first,
there
will
be
no
novelty
left
for
Billoo
Barber
at
all
amongst
the
audiences.
A
source
tells
us,
"While
Shahrukh
was
confident
that
he
would
be
able
to
wrap
up
his
film
before
Rajinikanth's
Tamil
version,
he
was
in
for
a
not
so
pleasant
surprise
when
he
came
to
know
that
the
Rajini
film
is
not
only
over
but
is
due
for
a
release
in
August
and
that
too
with
its
Hindi
dubbed
version.
Shahrukh
had
already
planned
a
grand
Diwali
release
for
his
film.
But
now
with
the
Rajini
film
coming
up
much
before
Diwali
he
was
in
for
a
shock.
He
then
used
all
his
good
relations
with
Rajini
(they
had
met
last
in
Delhi
for
a
news
channel's
award
show)
and
called
him
up
requesting
him
to
postpone
the
release
of
his
Hindi
version.
Rajini
obliged
and
now
the
film
shall
only
release
in
Tamil
and
Telugu
all
over
the
world.
The
Hindi
dubbed
version
will
definitely
release
too
but
post
Diwali."
Rajini's
Shivaji
(2007)
is
being
dubbed
in
Hindi
and
is
all
set
for
a
September
end
release.
The
makers
of
Shivaji
have
even
shot
a
song
with
Rajini
where
he
will
imitate
Bollywood
legendary
yesteryears
heroes.
