Jagapathi
Babu,
as
we
all
know,
is
co-starring
with
Rajini
in
Kucheludu,
and
he
recently
started
shooting
for
this
role.
Kucheludu,
being
produced
by
Ashwini
Dutt,
is
directed
by
P.
Vasu.
In
a
case
of
real-life
imitating
reel-life,
Rajini
plays
the
role
of
a
matinee
idol.
Jagapathi
Babu
is
his
childhood
friend
with
Meena
acting
as
Jagapathi's
wife.
Kucheludu
is
a
remake
of
the
Malayalam
hit,
Katha
Parayumpol,
which
is
a
tale
of
long-lost
friendship.
The
title
is
reminiscent
of
a
popular
mythological
character
Sudhamudu
alias
Kucheludu,
a
poor
Brahmin,
who
was
Lord
Krishna's
childhood
friend.
Jagapathi's
role
is
being
essayed
by
Pasupathy
in
Tamil,
where
the
movie
is
titled
Kuselan.
