Shankar's
upcoming
film
I
with
Vikram
has
been
the
talk
of
the
town
for
sometime
now.
With
the
film's
anticipation
reaching
never
seen
before
heights
after
the
release
of
its
official
theatrical
trailer,
I
is
now
expected
to
compete
even
with
major
Hindi
films
in
terms
of
box
office
collections.
Also,
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
string
of
tweets
has
caught
movie
goers'
attention
in
North
India
too.
Recently,
Ram
Gopal
Varma
took
to
twitter
to
shower
praises
on
Shankar
and
his
upcoming
film
I.
RGV
has
said
if
at
all
Indian
films
are
taken
seriously
by
Hollywood
ever,
it
will
be
because
of
Shankar's
I.
Describing
Shankar
as
a
bigger
personality
than
Rajinikanth
and
Jayalalitha
in
terms
of
generating
enthusiasm,
he
has
also
said
I
will
break
Lingaa's
first
day
box
office
record.
Criticizing
every
other
Indian
filmmaker,
he
has
said,
"I
think
"I" will
be
the
film
for
Indian
film
makers
to
feel
a
kick
on
their
..that
they
are
not
pushing
the
boundaries
like
Shanker".
Terming
Shankar
as
the
only
trailblazer
in
the
entire
Indian
film
industry,
he
has
predicted
I
will
be
a
groundbreaker
in
terms
of
sheer
originality
and
audacity.
Since
the
film
is
slated
for
a
Pongal
release(Sankranti),
he
has
said
it
is
likely
to
be
a
"shanker
raatri" when
the
film
hit
the
screen
and
only
''dumb
people"
will
release
their
films
to
compete
with
I.
Comparing
I
with
Aamir
Khan's
PK,
he
has
hinted
that
PK
might
fail
to
keep
the
cash
registers
ringing
once
I
comes
alive
on
screen.
Also
he
has
said
if
Aamir
Khan
and
Shankar
join
hands
then
India
will
get
its
first
"Avatar"!
