August 20, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Karthi's upcoming film Siruthai is fast rolling on floors and is reported to have completed a couple of schedules. As known earlier, the film is a remake of yesteryear Telugu blockbuster Vikramakudu featuring Ravi Teja in dual roles with Anushka as the female lead character.
The original version has Ravi Teja enacting dual roles as police officer and other one as a petty thief while Jyothika played wife's role of cop. However, not an even single scene brings Ravi Teja and Jyothika together as she is portrayed as his dead wife. She is spotted in the medium-sized photo frame adored with garlands.
Those who have already watched Vikramakudu are curious to know about the actress replacing Jyothika's photo. Well, one cannot expect the same actress to reappear as Jo happens to be his elder brother Suriya's wife. In Tamil film industry, it remains as a sentimental factor as audiences wouldn't accept such portrayals in reels.
It is more or less the same as Bollywood's expectations on Mr. India-2 as Anil Kapoor and his bhabhi Sri Devi played lead characters in its prequel.
