Here’s something interesting. When Rajamouli shared the first look of his cousin SS Kanchi’s Showtime, little did he know, he’d be getting a reply like what Kona Venkat gave! “sir I think even our film which is similar to this concept did the same.. Pl see this.. Thank u (sic),” replies Kona with a picture of Tamannah sitting in a cinema hall.
Well, immediately, everyone was intrigued. Two horror films, with the cinema hall as the main theme. Looks like the makers of Abhinetri were a bit appalled and decided to make a point.
It seems Abhinetri (meaning an actress) and Showtime (time for the film to begin) both are going to give each other a tough competition. One needs to wonder, are the stories different or can we hope for something different? Only time will tell!
