'Quickgun Murugan' releases on August 28

MUMBAI: 'Quickgun Murugan', a film inspired by the humourous spoof on Tamil movie actors by Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan in 'Om Shanti Om', is slated to release on August 28.

The film is about a superhero with the grit of a Western cowboy (Clint Eastwood) and the glamour of a South Indian superstar.

The character, created by a music channel is coming as a feature film, based on the adventures of a 'sambhar cowboy' called 'Quickgun Murugan'.

Rajendra Prasad, a veteran Telugu actor, will be playing this quirky character in an upmarket English film.

Director Shashank Ghosh, who earlier directed 'Waisa bhi hota hai -Part 2' said the slapstick also marks the return of actress Rambha, after a long sabbatical.

Her character called 'Mango Dolly' is a blonde sultry seductress who is actually a moll, modern day Barbie doll. Every attention has been made to make her look special, which has been designed essentially to enhance her character, he said.

'Quickgun Murugan' is produced by Fox Star Studios, which has distributed the Oscar winning 'Slumdog Millionaire'.
