Here comes another sad story (after Kikujiro connection for Nandhalaa), this time it is for Yogi

Ameer’s inspiration from South Africa film!
August 27, 2008
Director Ameer who is donning the greasepaint for Yogi for the first time has also written the story, screenplay and dialogues while Subramania Siva is directing the film. This film is said to be revolving around the life of a gangster. Recently there was a buzz that Yogi has been inspired from the South African film Tsotsi which won the nomination for the best foreign language film in Golden Globe awards in 2006. The film also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year in 2006. Tsotsi deals with the life of a gangster and the stills of Yogi bear a lot of resemblance to the South African film. However, director Subramania Siva has said that Yogi has drawn some inspiration from the African film. Further, the stills of Yogi, released to the media, bear a strong resemblance of Tsotsi.
