Veteran comedian Brahmanandam, who is known to have unconventional names in his films, will be called Amala Paul in upcoming film Bengal Tiger.
Brahmi, as he is fondly called, is often given bizarre names to amplify his comic quotient in films. For instance, in Ram Charan-starrer Bruce Lee earlier this year, Brahmanandam’s character is called Suzuki Subramanyam alias Peter alias Pakodi. The title itself created a tremendous buzz and even though the film (and the comedy) did not live upto expectations, his character will remain etched in people’s memory.
Similarly, his character as Amala Paul has garnered has garnered tremendous curiosity ahead of Bengal Tiger, which features Ravi Teja in the lead. The makers, however, are keeping their cards close to their chest and want to keep Brahmi’s character as a surprise element.
“Yes, Brahmandam garu will be called Amala Paul in the movie. He is at his hilarious best in the film and his character is bound to leave everybody in splits. However, I cannot reveal further details as Sampath Nandi (the film’s director) wants there to be a suspense about his character. It will surely be one of the highlights of the film,” said a source from the film’s unit.
Bengal Tiger, which also features Tamannaah and Raashi Khanna in important roles, releases on December 10.
