Varasudu revolves around the story of a business tycoon and his heir, who takes over the business under some difficult circumstances.
Thalapathy Vijay is playing the titular character – Varisu in Tamil aka heir – in the film. Rashmika Mandanna is playing the female lead opposite Vijay in the movie.
There was a Telugu movie by Super Star Krishna along with Nagarjuna decades ago. The title was also Varasudu. It was an average hit.
There is a talk that Vamsi could have lifted the theme of that movie or inspired from the movie.The movie was suggested to Mahesh also by Vamsi Paidipally.
Nagarjuna takes over the leadership from Krishna. The same is the theme here also.
The Vamshi Paidipally directorial features a stellar star cast including R Sarath Kumar, Prakash Raj, Jayasudha, Khushboo, Srikanth, Shaam, Yogi Babu, Sangeetha Krish, and others.
S Thaman has composed the songs and original score. Varisu is produced by Dil Raju, under the prestigious banner Sri Venkateswara Creations.
The movie has enough cushion in the name of OTT sales. It will be released in Tamil and Telugu. If it works out it will be in Hindi also.
Later it will be sold to OTT. So there is no risk for Dil Raju in this format.
