Dhruv
Vikram
and
Banita
Sandhu-starrer
Adithya
Varma
(2019)
had
received
positive
responses
from
masses
as
well
as
critics.
Directed
by
Gireesaaya,
the
Tamil
remake
of
Arjun
Reddy
(2017)
turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
highest-grossing
films
in
2019.
Recently,
you
must
have
heard
a
rumour
that
the
film's
old
version
titled
as
Varma
is
reportedly
releasing
on
OTT
platform.
A
report
published
in
a
leading
portal
suggests
that
the
makers
are
now
planning
to
release
Bala's
directorial
Varma
on
OTT
platforms.
Ever
since
the
reports
about
Varma
came
out,
fans
have
been
eagerly
expressing
their
wish
to
watch
Bala's
version
on
video
streaming
platform.
However,
producer
Mukesh
Ratilal
Mehta
rubbished
the
reports
and
said
it's
a
piece
of
'False
news'
on
Twitter.
For
the
unversed,
Adithya
Varma
was
originally
directed
by
Bala
under
the
title
Varma.
It
was
shot
in
2018
between
March
and
September,
however,
due
to
creative
differences
with
E4
Entertainment,
the
production
house
decided
to
shoot
the
film
again
with
different
director
and
cast
including
leading
lady.
Notably,
Dhruv
and
music
composer
Radhan
were
retained
from
the
old
team.
Gireesaaya
and
Banita
Sandhu
came
on
board
later
as
the
director
and
lead
actress
of
the
film,
respectively.

On
a
related
note,
Adithya
Varma
is
reportedly
the
first
film
in
Tamil
cinema
which
was
reshot,
due
to
the
producer's
reaction
to
the
final
product.
Producer
of
the
film
had
said
that
they
refused
to
release
Bala's
Varma
due
to
unsatisfactory
final
cut
and
announced
to
reshoot
the
film
with
different
director
and
crew.
On
the
other
hand,
Bala
had
said
he
himself
quit
the
film
to
save
his
creative
freedom
as
he
was
asked
to
make
changes.
