Amitabh Bachchan spellbound by Surya's performance

Surya"s stupendous success with Yamudu has gained him more popularity across the towns. Moreover, his overpowering appearance in the teasers of Rakta Charitra have drew the attention of even Bollywood buffs as they curiously await his arrival in B-town. Recently, Bollywood Shehanshah Amitabh Bachchan was spellbound by Surya"s performance in this film as Ram Gopal Varma screened some clippings from the film.

Earlier, the plans were to release the Rakta Charitra along with the second part of Rakta Charitra in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil, which was supposedly scheduled during last week of August. But the release date of Rakta Charitra–1 is reported to have been postponed to September 17.

Since, the RC-1 will not have Surya being featured with prominence, the producers decided to release the Telugu and Tamil version as a single part.

But now it looks like the release of second part maybe deferred by at least three weeks after the prequel hit screens. Obviously, the makers may opt for Diwali (November 5) as the best time as it would draw more audiences.
