New Delhi, Aug 27 - The movie 'Quick Gun Murugun - Misadventures of an Indian Cowboy' neither makes fun of Tamil thespian Rajnikant nor Hollywood movies, says Rajendra Prasad, who plays the lead in the comedy.
''Quick Gun Murugun' doesn't make fun of anyone. The characterisation, behaviour, style and even the dialogues are highly individual. It has no resemblance to anyone in particular,' Telugu comedystar Prasad told IANS in an interview.
'It is only a laugh-riot. The problem is, when it comes to South Indian movies people have heard only about Tamil cinema and Rajnikant and so they are drawing parallels out of nothing... 'Quick Gun?' is a full-fledged original film,' he added.
Rumour mills were abuzz that certain sequences in the film spoofed Rajnikant and Hollywood films like 'The Matrix' and 'Terminator'.
''Quick Gun' is a cultural mix of characters, particularly from south India. We wanted to show the diversity of our cultures through the movie,' said Prasad.
Produced and distributed by Phat Phish Motion Pictures and Fox Star Studios respectively, 'Quick Gun Murugun' is releasing Friday in four languages - Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu.
A 'concept comedy' based on Channel V India's 1990s south Indian character - both produced and directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the movie shows Quick Gun as a strict vegetarian who considers it his duty to serve and protect 'cows and women'.
'My character is involved in an epic battle with arch villain Rice Plate Reddy who wants to convert the world into non-vegetarian,' said the actor.
