On the occasion of Aparichithudu re-release, a fan impersonated the character of the film during a screening.
A fan stole the show during the screening of Aparichithudu by dressing up as the main character from Chiyaan Vikram’s film.
Aparichithudu, the groundbreaking film by Chiyaan Vikram and Shankar, has recently made a comeback in theaters, sparking joy and celebrations. Nearly two decades have passed since its first release, yet the enthusiasm surrounding the movie has grown even stronger. At a screening event, a devoted fan of Vikram made quite an impression by showing up dressed in the exact costume worn by Vikram’s character in the film.
In a video posted from the theater screenings, the audience was actively engaged, whistling and cheering. Yet, a standout moment was when a fan took center stage with a spot-on impersonation of Aparichithudu from a memorable scene in the film. This dedicated fan not only mimicked the character but also showcased his commitment by dressing up exactly like Aparichithudu from that particular moment. While some viewers praised his enthusiasm and performance, others felt he disrupted the movie experience for fellow theatergoers.
The video makes it evident that Aparichithudu, the Telugu rendition of Anniyan, continues to resonate deeply with Telugu-speaking viewers nationwide. While the movie received a warm welcome in Tamil Nadu as well, its exceptional triumph in Telugu territories stands out, especially considering the surprising manner in which it unfolded.
In the end, what truly resonated with audiences nationwide, regardless of language, was the universal storyline of Aparichithudu. The concept of an ordinary individual standing up to injustice within a corrupt system, only to transform into a formidable masked crusader, struck a chord with viewers. Shankar delved into uncharted territory by delving into themes like multiple personality disorders and vigilantism, seamlessly blending them with a commercial framework to create a compelling and intellectually stimulating narrative.
Aparichithudu boasts a talented cast including Chiyaan Vikram, Sadha, Prakash Raj, Vivek, Nedumudi Venu, and other skilled actors. Shankar takes on the roles of writer and director, with Sujatha Rangarajan contributing as the dialogue writer. The project is produced by Venu Ravichandran under the Aascar Films production banner. Harris Jayaraj is behind the music composition, while V. Manikandan and Ravi Varman tackle cinematography duties. V.T. Vijayan is credited as the editor for the film.
