No, Priyadarshan's new action flick Tezz is not a remake of Mission Impossible (rather it's more similar to Keanu Reeves's Speed with the bus being replaced by a train). So how are the two films connected?
Remember the immediate reactions when the first trailer of Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was released in India.
While the Tom Cruise starrer had a slick look, many Indian fans were
disappointed that Anil Kapoor, who had a cameo in this Hollywood flick,
was nowhere to be seen in the trailers. So the production house had to
bow down to the public demand and a new trailer featuring Anil Kapoor
was released in India.
A similar scenario seems to be occurring with another Anil Kapoor
starrer though it's not because of Kapoor this time around. The first
trailer of Priyadarshan's action flick Tezz starring Ajay Devgn and Anil
Kapoor in lead roles was recently released. The film also stars
Malayalam superstar Mohal Lal in a cameo. The trailer has a fleeting
appearance of the South star.
However
that doesn't seem to have gone down well with his South fans and they
have widely expressed their disappointment on social networking sites. A
unit-hand mentions, "The makers weren't expecting such a furor. Mohan Lal
wasn't highlighted in the trailer because the South star anyways has a
cameo in the film and the makers didn't intend to mislead the audience.
However now they are giving second thoughts and perhaps a new trailer
prominently featuring Mohan Lal will be released".
