Pawan Kalyan wants to make as many films as possible before the elections. He has got one year’s time to enjoy the shootings and then go to the polls.
Right now he is working for Hari Hara Veera Mallu and then remake of Vinodiya Sitham under the direction of Samuuthira Khani who is a director and also a popular villain.
Fortune Four the production house of Trivikram has agreed to pay around 50 crore for the remake film.
Trivikram Srinivas is expected to pen the dialogues for this project and Ketika Sharma is expected to play one of the female leads while the other one is yet to be decided.
Remakes are nothing new to Pawan Kalyan.
His comeback film ‘Vakeel Saab’ was a remake and his last film ‘Bheemla Nayak’ was also taken from Malayalam super hit flick ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’. Many of Pawan’s movies including ‘Gokulamlo Seetha’, ‘Suswagatham’, Khushi’, ‘Thammudu’, ‘Annavaram’, ‘Teenmaar’, ‘Gabbar Singh’, ‘Kaatamrayudu’ were remakes.
Most of the movies being shot by Pawan for the producers will not get more than a month’s time. For that he is charging around 70 crores, sometimes taking a share from the movies.
This remake called Vinodhaya Sitham will be something like Gopala Gopala. Sai Dharam Tej from the mega family is doing the pivotal role in the movie and that makes Pawan come to the sets.
The OTT sale on the films is like an added attraction and safety net to the producers. The writing of Trivikram sells, and there is no second thought about it.
