Bollywood top director praises 'Teen Maar'

The recent release of 'Teen Maar' is a remake to Hindi hit film 'Love Aaj Kal'. Although many knew this, it’s wonderful to hear that 'Teen Maar' opened to houseful crowds even in Mumbai. Fans are more than satisfied with Pawan Kalyan and opening collections show how best 'Teen Maar' has struck the chord with audience. Imtiaz Ali is the story writer and director of 'Love Aaj Kal' which had Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. Apparently, the original film was also a big hit in North India. Interestingly, Imtiaz went on to see 'Teen Maar' in Mumbai on the release day. Director shared his experiences and his Facebook page reads like "Saw Teen Maar, the Telugu remake of Love Aaj Kal in a theatre in Bombay. It was without subtitles but I could make out most of it. It was fun. I could also see that in certain places the director of the movie has taken the concept forward. It all looked very good. I enjoyed it very much." What could director Jayant C Paranjee and Pawan Kalyan ask for more than this warm applause from native Bollywood director?

Pawan directed Teen Maar!

Fingering in direction, story and music departments by star heroes is a customary everyday affair in film industry. Usually they say it as spot development for a scene or shot, but this would affect the morale of real director. Pawan Kalyan from long time is known for this habitual behaviour of toying with script and dialogues. According to the sources, even 'Teen Maar' falls into the same menu. Although Jayant C Paranjee is the name of director on title cards, insiders say it was Trivikram who has done the honours from manipulating the story of 'Love Aaj Kal' to final direction of key scenes.  Perhaps Trivikram is busy director-cum-writer with no time to follow the progress of 'Teen Maar' every day. So, it was through Pawan Kalyan that Trivikram directed major love episodes with Trisha and Kriti Kharbhanda. The dialogues from Pawan Kalyan in Spanish language and naming of characters as Michael Velayudham and Arjun Palvoy evidentially prove that power star is the director behind 'Teen Maar'.
