Even as Nandamuri Balakrishna's "Dictator" is gearing up for grand release on 14th January, speculations are rife that the movie's story is lifted from a Hollywood movie.
According to industry gossips, the movie has resemblance to the story of Denzel Washington's "The Equalizer".
In the Hollywood movie, Denzel Washington has played the role of an amiable home depot worker with a mysterious past. In Dictator, Balakrishna plays a simple guy working in a supermarket but he also has a mysterious past.
Even in the recently released trailer of Dictator, it is shown that villains are talking about a professional guy who must be behind the killings as they don't seem to be a war between two mafia factions. There is a similar scene in "The Equalizer".
How much truth lies in these gossip can only be revealed after the release. Since it has three heroines unlike the Hollywood movie and lot of comedians (as per trailer), let’s hope that the movie has nothing to do with "The Equalizer".
Dictator is written and directed by Sri Wass with screenplay by Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan.
