Rajni's movies have always been gross... no need to mention that. Talking about remakes, South Indian cinemas started the "copying" trend. Deewar, made in 1974-75, was "copied" into some South Indian language. The hugely popular role enacted by Amitabh Bachchan in the 1974 classic was played by Rajnikanth in the South Indian version. So, its not new that South Indian cinema borrows from Bollywood & vice versa.
