96 Telugu Remake: Samantha's Bold Comment About Essaying Trisha's Role Might Ruffle A Few Feathers

Earlier this month, the much-loved Vijay Sethupathi became the talk of Kollywood for all the right reasons when 96 opened to a good response at the box office and emerged as a big hit. A romantic-drama, the film was directed by Prem Kumar and clicked big time with the movie buffs courtesy Makkal Selvan's crackling chemistry with Trisha. Shortly after the film became a hit, it was reported that Dil Raju would be remaking it in Telugu.

The grapevine suggested that the remake would feature the 'Natural Star' Nani and actress Samantha Akkineni in the lead roles. As expected, this created a great deal of buzz in Tollywood. Recently, on being asked a question about doing the 96 remake, Sam gave an unexpected response and left everyone in a state of shock.

According to Gulte, she said that 96 'shouldn't be remade'. The buzz is that this was the Ye Maya Chesave actress' way of telling Dil Dil Raju that remaking such a good film is not a wise idea.

In the meanwhile, the gossip mills suggest that Dil Raju is keen on selecting the right director for the film and has apparently zeroed in on Harish Shankar. Last year, he had delivered a big hit with Duvvada Jagannadham and proved his mettle. As such, he might be the right choice for the remake. One can expect more clarity on this in the days to come.
