Venkatesh is remaking Tamil cult hit Asuran in Telugu in Srikanth Addala’s direction. The title for this film has finalized according to the buzz. Narappa is the title for this rustic rural drama.
The original was directed by Vetrimaran and Dhanush played the lead role in it.
The story is set in early eighties and it is about a middle aged man who fights hard to save his family from the evil clutches of a upper caste landlord.
Venkatesh believes that the middle aged character suits him the best which is why he has immediately locked this project before everything that is in the pipeline.
It has been a while since Venky was seen as a solo lead. Narappa is aiming for release in midsummer.
