The
Telugu
remake
of
critically-acclaimed
Hindi
film
Vicky
Donor
is
finally
set
to
go
on
the
floors
later
this
month.
The
film
has
been
in
discussions
from
several
months
now
and
many
heroes
backed
off
to
take
up
the
film.
However,
the
remake
is
actually
happening
now.
Starring
Sumanth
Akkineni
,
the
film
will
be
directed
by
Mallik
Ram.
"We
will
start
shooting
from
the
first
or
second
week
of
December," Mallik
revealed,
adding
that
the
lead
team
is
yet
to
be
finalized.
Apparently,
It
is
rumored
that
actress
Pallavi
Subhash
will
be
paired
opposite
Sumanth.
"We
really
haven't
finalised
anybody
yet.
We've
been
in
talks
with
a
few
heroines
and
we
plan
to
make
an
official
announcement
in
due
course,"
Mallik
clarified.
The
film's
remake
was
first
announced
in
2013
by
filmmaker
Madhura
Sreedhar,
but
since
things
didn't
fall
in
place
and
the
project
eventually
went
in
to
Sumanth's
hand.
With
Ayushmann
Khurrana
and
Yami
Gautam
in
the
lead,
Shoojit
Sircar
made
a
film
on
the
subject
of
sperm
donation
in
a
light
manner
in
2012
through
Vicky
Donor.
It
was
widely
appreciated
by
critics
and
was
also
commercially
successful.
We
must
wait
and
see
how
far
the
debut
director
will
be
successful
in
adapting
the
sensitive
story
line
to
Telugu
nativity
and
how
Akkineni
hero,
Sumanth
will
pull
it
off.
