Director Shankar's 2007 film Sivaji: The Boss, starring Rajinikanth, was a box office sensation, celebrated for its grandeur and social message. Beyond Rajinikanth and Shriya Saran, who played the lead roles, the film featured many memorable characters, including the comedic duo Akkamma and Jekkamma. These two characters, portrayed as sisters, brought humor to the film with their scenes.
A recent surge of interest has focused on the actresses who played Akkamma and Jekkamma, with fans expressing astonishment at their real-life appearances. In the film, they were presented in a de-glamorous way, which is in stark contrast to their actual looks.
The actresses behind Akkamma and Jekkamma are Sujatha Babu and Divya, respectively. What's even more interesting is that, just like in the movie, they are indeed sisters in real life. A photo of the sisters has recently gone viral, showcasing their stunning transformation and elegant appearance.
Sivaji tells the story of a software architect, Sivaji Arumugam (Rajinikanth), who returns to India with the dream of establishing free medical treatment and education. His efforts are thwarted by a corrupt political system and Adisheshan, an influential businessman played by Suman. The film's narrative revolves around Sivaji's fight against corruption and his determination to make a positive impact on society.
The movie features an ensemble cast, including Vivek as Arivu, Sivaji's maternal uncle, and Shriya Saran as Tamizhselvi Ramalingham. Veteran actors like Manivannan and Raghuvaran also played significant roles. A.R. Rahman composed the film's music, which was a major hit and contributed to the film's success.
Shankar is known for directing films such as Anniyan (Aparichitudu), Indian, Robot (Enthiran) and Boys. Sivaji was produced by AVM Productions as their 168th film. The film was released on June 15, 2007, and was dubbed in Telugu.
The reappearance of Sujatha Babu and Divya in the spotlight has sparked nostalgia among fans of Sivaji. Their real-life looks, far removed from their on-screen characters, have left many pleasantly surprised.
