Six years after Telugu superstar Ravi Teja&rsquo;s Vikramarkudu, a movie which was much appreciated up North, stormed the box office, news comes from Hyderabad that the makers are all set to film a sequel to the blockbuster. Interestingly, a sequel is also being planned to Rowdy Rathore, the Hindi remake of Vikramarkudu. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/jul/ravi-teja.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 456px; " /> Ravi Teja But Ravi is a step ahead. His director already has an idea for the sequel. The Rowdy Rathore team is still to come up with a firm idea. Teja says he isn&rsquo;t aware of a sequel to Rowdy Rathore. &ldquo;They&rsquo;re planning a sequel? My director Rajamouli and I are also planning a sequel and have already begun work on the story.&rdquo; Ravi has wonderful things to say about Akshay Kumar. &ldquo;Some of the scenes were done in Prabhu Deva&rsquo;s style. Akshay has done a fabulous job with the comedy. When he says I&rsquo;ve done a better job in the original he&rsquo;s just being humble. He has caught on to the mood of the original and given it his own twist.&rdquo; Ravi does, however, find some elements from the original missing in the remake. &ldquo;There was this big scene where I fight with the women-folk. I asked Prabhu Deva about that scene and he said, &lsquo;Akshay fighting with women would have looked politically incorrect.&rsquo; But in the original, women loved that scene. But the remake is a blockbuster.&rdquo; Ravi, also known as Mass Maharaja, is from Andhra Pradesh and has spent a lot of his formative years in Mumbai and Jaipur. &ldquo;I enjoyed the struggle. My first break came in 1997 with Krishna Vamsi and then Puri Jagannadh, my closest friend.&rdquo; Ask him how he feels about being known as Mass Maharaja and Ravi bursts out laughing. &ldquo;One of my directors named me that. It has stuck. It feels good when fans shout that out.&rdquo;u00a0
