 Now the question: Will I see the remake? … Tell me that Kangana Ranaut wrestles a lion and we might be able to do business.

 Memories of the Telugu original were still fresh among national film-lovers several decades later when a Hindi-Urdu film called ''Revolver Rani'' (2014) was released and everyone thought they would see a fun remake of the original, only to be disappointed because the Hindi-Urdu film of the same name did not have the chutzpah and freshness of the original.

 While ''Revolver Rani'' was not the kind of film that sophisticated national audiences flocked to, the whole nation was aware of this phenomenon from Andhra Pradesh. In its own way ''Revolver Rani'' had greater impact on non-Telugu filmgoers than the mega-hit Bahubali (2015). The term Revolver Rani and the actress Vijayalalitha became household names even among those who had not seen the film.
-Vijayalalitha immediately got lead roles Hindi B movies like ''Rani Mera Naam'' (1972). Film distributors in Delhi-UP sent word to Cinema Desam (Telugu filmland) that they wanted more. The name Vijayalalitha became such a brand name that it spawned the Vijaya Shanthis, and Rani became such an A list brand that no less than superstar Sadhana, by then on the decline, decided to cash in on the phenomenon. She made Geeta Mera Naam (1974), an upmarket treatment of the ''Rani Mera Naam'' craze. How enduring the phenomenon was can be seen from the fact that in 2014 they were still trying (disastrously) to capture the excitement of the original.

 Not many people know that the first Revolver Rani was made in Telugu in 1971 with actress Vijayalalitha ( aunt of VijayaSanthi) as the heroine. This was made in those days where the Telugufied Cow boy movies were being made and she played the pivotal role as the Revolver Rani .This film also had Super star Krishna in a brief role and the rest of the movie shows Vijayalalitha fighting the bad guys and here comes the best part –Fights a lion too .Now we didn’t see Kangana do that. Its always the Southies who have done these kind of things for the first time. Only they don’t get noticed or hyped as much as the Northern counterparts.
