Real police officer in 'Yogi'
IndiaGlitz [Monday, March 10, 2008]

Director Ameer starrer ‘Yogi’ has a story revolving around a life of gangsters with Ameer playing a dada living in a slum area. The director, who dons the led role in the film, writes the story, screenplay, and dialogues, while Subramaniam Siva directs the movie.

When you make a movie based on rowdies, there is little chance that you could avoid police encounters. ‘Yogi’, which does deal with encounter, has had a unique idea of making a real encounter specialist act in the film.

Ameer has requested Jafar Sait, a renowned police officer, who had gunned down dreaded gangsters like ‘Muttai Kan’ Ravi and ‘Manal Medu’ Shankar in Thanjavore and Thiruchi areas, to act in the film. Jafar, though initially refused to act, is now trying to get permission from the government.

If he appears in the film, it would be first of its kind.

Yogi will not be released for Pongal

"Ameer, up and running for Yogi!
December 18, 2008

Ameer is free from the legal tangles that haunted him after his alleged provocative speech during the Rameswaram protests in support of Srilankan Tamils. Which precisely means that Yogi, with him in the lead, will be dusted from the cans and the shoots will begin soon. Ameer says he is focused on finishing up the project that has been long pending now. The movie, expected to be out for Pongal, will be postponed since Ameer was not available for the shoots.

Yogi will be as endearing as Paruthiveeran, Ameer was quoted as saying. While Paruthiveeran told the story of a rustic waywardly village, Yogi tells the story of a down to earth man in the slums of Chennai. Directed by Subramania Siva, Yogi has Snehan’s lyrics who also makes a cameo in the movie."

ameer is a self confessed kamal fan.

may be he will change the title of the movie since kamal hassan has already come with a similar title (marma yogi) for his next movie.

two movies releasing in close succession having a similar title is not a good thing for the movie releasing second, and unfortunately marmayogi will be at the receiving end if yogi gets any bad publicity which in all probability will release earlier (thanks to the relatively low budget)

Another Purathiveeran comming on its way ...
for sure .. the ending is going to be a nightmarish as his privious movie ......

Yes, Jafar Sait will close the deal with Ameer in the last reel.

Bala has watched Ameer's Yogi recently and he loved the movie so much that he presented the view finder that he got as a gift from his mentor Balu Mahendra to Ameer and said that Ameer has overtaken(?) him in the movie making and asked him to pass the viewfinder on to someone who Ameer thinks excels in the movie making in the future - From yesterday's Cinema Karam Coffee on Vijay TV.

What a crap?

It is not for Yogi ..It is for 'Paruthiveeran' ..kumudam.com have the video of paarattuvizha for Ameer ,in which Ameer said it.

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.

[Paul Bunyan]

Judge,
Originality ellam ellarukkum irukkaathu. This is what I conclude after hearing about lot of inspirations. It all depends on how they do it. I don't have problem with inspirations. The end product should be good and should be modified for our tastes. Apadiyae adikkama iruntha sari thaan

[Lt_Apple]

Tsotsi?? The story of tsotsi revolves around a stolen child. Will not work here and tsotsi is overrated anyway.

[TorryJens]

So, is this not a remake of Mammootty's 'Big B'? I remember reading contradictory news reports on this being a remake of that Malayalam film.
