Shankar and his ‘du’ sentiment

Shankar, the showman of Tamil cinema, is busy along with his next film, I, featuring Vikram and Amy Jackson within the lead.Produced at a staggering cost of Rs 140 crore by Aascar Ravichandran, the music was composed by A.R. Rahman. The title of the Telugu version is Manoharudu.

In Tamil, I means beauty, king and vulnerability while Manoharudu means handsome guy. Shankar has an affinity for titles ending with ‘du’ in Tollywood.

Titles of a lot of his earlier Telugu hits also end with ‘du’ — Premikudu (Kaadhalan),Okay Okkadu (Mudhalvan), Bharatheeyu-du (Indian) and Aparichudu (Anniyan).

While P.C. Sriram is behind the camera, we hear that Shankar is in search of one more heroine for the film.
