Every industry enters a phase where a particular trend becomes the flavour of the season and is adopted by all. Tollywood is no different. There was a time when every hero wanted to do faction movies, then came the age of romantic entertainers, then came the comedy drama phase and so on. From the looks of it, this year appears to be following the trend of remakes.
It started with Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab which is a remake of Pink. Next in line is another remake by Pawan Kalyan of Malayalam movie Ayyapannum Koshisyum. Similarly, Mega Star Chiranjeevi will star in Malayalam blockbuster Lucifer’s remake. Mohan Raja will be directing this action drama. There are also reports of Chiranjeevi remaking Ajith’s Vedalam which will be directed by Meher Ramesh. Victory Venkatesh is also not too behind on this trend. His next two release are Drushyam 2 and Narappa are both remakes of Drishyam 2 and Asuran respectively.
Not just the senior actors, even junior actors have also boarded the remake train. Nithiin will be remaking Andhadhun’s remake in Tollywood, titled Maestro. Bellamkonda Srinivas who earned a much-needed hit with ‘Rakhshasudu’, a remake of Tamil film Ratsasan will be starring in the remake of Dhanush’s blockbuster Karnan that released earlier this year. Srinivas will also star in Bollywood remake of Prabhas’ 2005 hit Chattrapati.
Nivetha Thomas, who earlier this year starred in Pink’s Telugu remake will once again feature in a remake. Regina Cassandra will co-star with her in the Tollywood remake of Korean superhit Midnight Runner.
Samantha too has in the past acted in successive remakes. She featured in U-Turn a remake of a Kannada film of same name. Similarly, she also starred in Jaanu, a remake of Tamil hit 96 along with Oh Baby! a remake of Korean film Miss Granny.
Raj Tarun, Satyadev, Vishwak Sen etc are some other names who will all be seen in remakes soon.
