Tollywood Remaking is approaching another direction altogether as remake has become a hot trend in the market.
Since the day cinema was born, people have been making remakes of earlier films. It has often happened that a director has liked a concept of a film and tries to interpret in a new manner in another film. However, Tollywood is approaching another direction altogether as remake has become a hot trend in the market. Whether is it for a lack of new ideas or just a trend that will pass by when time comes is impossible to tell right now; but it is surely something each and every star is following at this moment.
Katamarayudu – a big remake
Pawan Kalyan has been a big name for some time and he has got in the groove for two successive remakes. The first one has been the film Katamarayudu, which replicates the Tamil film Veeram. It also stars Shruti Hassan who has already announced herself as a specialist in reproducing classic roles. She has already answered the critics who were sceptical regarding the difficult roles. Pawan is going to appear in another remake whose name has not been decided yet. It will be extracted from the film Vedalam. The first film will be released very soon and the fans of Pawan Kalyan are eagerly waiting to see how he can excel in the classic role previously championed by the Tamil superstar Ajith.
Chiranjeevi in the mood for remake
Chiranjeevi is a legend of Tollywood and he has been absent for years. However, his big return, his 150th film, is going to be, not surprisingly, a remake. It will emulate Kaththi, the film that was a rage in Tamil film industry during 2014. Ram Charan will take the role of the co-producer in his father’s mega return. The film has a socialist angle too because of its focus on farmer suicides. The other production house involved in it is Lyca productions.
Like father, like Son
When Chiranjeevi is making a remake, can Ram Charan stay behind? The film Dhruva, remade from the Thani Oruvan, Jayam Ravi’s classic hit, is going to hit the theatres in December. Ram Charan is up for the role of a cop whose bravery knows no bounds. Surendar Reddy has taken up the responsibility of the director of this film and it is expected to make a big impact. Charan is also on a spree of good films. His erstwhile films like Magadheera have already established himself as a superstar. Now he is making the most of remake market.
