From
the
very
beginning,
Megastar
Chiranjeevi
had
his
own
reservations
about
starring
in
Shankar
Dada
Zindabad
(SDZ).
He
was
worried
that
the
character
was
already
over-exposed
and
that
the
audience
was
getting
too
familiar
with
its
antics.
Now,
another
problem
has
cribbed
in.
Then,
there
was
a
long
confusion
about
the
film's
heroine.
For
some
reason,
Vidya
Balan,
the
heroine
in
the
Hindi
version
just
wouldn't
accept
the
offer
to
act
in
the
Telugu
version.
Finally,
they
picked
up
another
heroine
but
some
very
ugly
rumors
about
the
actress
have
surfaced.
The
film
is
now
ready
for
release
and
it
looks
as
if
it
will
make
its
way
to
the
theatres
ahead
of
its
schedule.
The
problem
now
is
that
it
seems
director
Prabhu
Deva
hasn't
changed
anything
from
the
original
film.
Everybody
is
now
wondering
if
the
film
will
have
the
nativity
element.
Remakes
flop
badly
if
the
nativity
element
isn't
taken
care
of.
Typical
example
is
the
Malayalam
remakes.
Will
Shankar
Dada
Zindabad
do
well
at
the
box-office?
Only
time
can
tell
this!
