Malayalam
film
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum,
which
released
in
February
this
year,
is
now
being
remade
in
Telugu
and
Tamil.
Starring
Prithviraj
Sukumaran
and
Biju
Menon
in
the
lead,
the
action-thriller
had
garnered
rave
reviews
from
the
critics
and
director
Sachy
was
lauded
by
many
for
dishing
out
a
masterpiece.
No
wonder,
Suryadevara
Naga
Vamsi
bought
the
Telugu
remake
rights
within
no
time.
Now,
if
the
latest
grapevine
is
true
then
superstar
Nandamuri
Balakrishna
and
Rana
Daggubati
may
star
in
the
Telugu
version
of
Sachy's
directorial
venture
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum.
Yes,
according
to
a
report
in
123telugu.com,
the
makers
are
considering
to
rope
in
these
two
actors
for
the
lead
roles.
If
things
fall
into
place
then
Balakrishna
will
essay
the
role
of
Biju
Menon
whereas
Rana
will
reprise
Prithiviraj's
character
in
Ayyappanum
Koshiyum
remake.
Not
too
long
ago,
there
were
rumours
about
Jr
NTR
playing
Sukumaran's
role
in
the
Telugu
remake.
Later,
it
was
being
said
that
Manchu
Vishnu
was
also
a
contender
in
the
running
but
now
it
seems
Rana
is
likely
to
bag
this
coveted
project.
Well,
if
that
happens
then
it
would
be
a
visual
delight
to
see
him
share
screen
space
with
Balakrishna
in
a
gripping
action-thriller.
However,
no
official
announcement
regarding
the
casting
has
been
made
until
now.
Currently,
the
Baahubali
actor
is
awaiting
the
release
of
his
film
Aranya
which
was
initially
scheduled
to
release
on
April
2.
The
movie
has
now
been
postponed
due
to
the
Coronavirus
crisis.
As
for
Nandamuri
Balakrishna,
he
will
next
be
seen
in
Boyapati
Srinu's
directorial
venture
alongside
Shriya
Saran
and
Nayanthara.
