Have taken a big commercial leap with 'Gabbar Is Back': Krish

Chennai, April 27m 2015: Filmmaker Krish is known for his humanistic Telugu films such as "Gamyam" and "Vedam". Now, with his forthcoming Hindi directorial debut "Gabbar Is Back", he says he has taken a commercial leap. "Gabbar Is Back" is the Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster "Ramana", which was written and directed by A.R. Murugadoss over a decade ago. "You could say I've gone commercial all guns blazing in 'Gabbar...'. It was mainly done because of the story, which is about a man who takes corruption heads on. All my films so far have had commercial elements, but this time I've upped the ante," Krish told IANS in an interview. The film, he says, will be the 'baap' (father) of all the previous remake versions put together. It has already been remade in Telugu, Kannada and Bengali. The film's title has already created quite a buzz. Krish says it was chosen for a reason and not merely to cash in on the popularity of the original character
