Is Atlee reworking Thevar Magan for Salman ? / Pushpa 2 paid tax for Rs 683 cr only / Thug Life v/s Jan nayagan abroad

Could this be the reason that Kamal Haasan and Chiranjeevi said no to Director Atlee’s Hindi film with Salman Khan ?. The plot is reworking of Bharathan’s Thevar Magan. In case you don’t remember – Aged father lives in his village looking after lands, a feudal Lord. Now son comes from abroad with a GF in tow. He wants to bring reforms in caste politics especially. GF goes back and son beomes hubby to village lass by default. For Hindi wallahs look up Virasaat (1997). This has been given a makeover. The catch is that South hero plays Father role and also his age. Here he sort of a Godfather kind guy but a rustic one. Insiders say that Salman who had seen Virasaat was excited . Story was pitched to Kamal ( original story is Kamal) and expected happened. Now it was Chiru’s turn. Here it seems it sounded like Jilla of Vijay- Mohanlal. But Chiru found it close to Seetharamaraju. Now will Rajinikanth bite the reworked script ? Kamal had at that time used a software called Movie Magic to write the screenplay. Maybe Atlee has the AI tool to outdo the Movie Magic ?

Taxes by Pushpa 2 Producers have been paid for Rs 282 crore as collections from Andhra and Telangana The claimed amount was Rs 380 crores. Including areas where it distributed through third party the amount claimed was Rs 831 crores and producers paid for Rs 612 crores. Rs 219 crores was overinflated claim. In Andhra/ TS the actual amount and claimed amount differed by Rs 98 crores. The total amount of Rs 1700 crores including overseas now seems to be over inflated by a great margin. With Rs 219 crore less from outside AP/TS and Rs 98 crore from two Telugu States, the shortfall in India collection is Rs 317 crores. So who is give actuals from overseas ?. A reasonable Rs 1200 crores would be great. Tax men who checked online booking windows felt that Producers were undercutting returns but now find that Producers were telling the truth or rather close to truth.

Latest report says Vijay’s Jana Nayagan overseas went for Rs 75 crores while Thug Life was sold for Rs 63 crores to AP International. Jana Nayagan Producers have not announced it but Asianet New Tamil reported. Buyer name not given.
