Absolute crap remake of a badass telugu movie

tbh i thought after watching rowdy rathore, akki surpassed teja, teja acted well, but akki was allrounder, his action execution was technically better and cooler than teja and he also matched up to his acting, teja was good in vikram rathore role, but akki was good and was more complete.

yaar you're talking as if Vikramarkudu was some masterpiece cinema. It is also a b-grade bhojpuri style movie.

I totally agree with your take. If anyone could have done this role in Bollywood, it was Akshay Kumar, but even he does not come close to doing it as well as Teja. The "thief" roles demands utter lack of shame and pride from the character and Teja nailed it, that kind of character looks very artificial in bollywood movies however. As far as the serious police role goes, both of them did a very good job at it.

Prabhu Deva btw must be put behind bars. I understand the guy buys rights from the Telugu movie directors/producers before he does his remakes, but this talentless idiot puts in zero effort. He literally copies every major and minute details in every scene, its downright laughable that bollywood considers this hack a talented director and rewards him with honors.

Haven't read the other comments since they seem to be usual flame-wars typical of Indian comment-boards, but must say I agree with original poster. Saw Vikramurdu and thought it handled the construction scene the best; it had the right kind of shock and awe value that was missing in both the Akki version as well as the Tamil version. Overall, it was much more fun watching the Telugu original. Sad to see actor like Nasser reduced to hamming as the villain. Wish they had actually made a 'remake' instead of cut-paste which serves no purpose other than attracting fans of the star. That said, I loved the movie.
