National award winner Bala to introduce Vikram’s son Dhruv with the remake of Arjun Reddy!
We had recently reported about Kollywood star Vikram’s son Dhruv making his entry to the industry. He will be playing the lead in the Tamil remake of superhit Telugu movie Arjun Reddy. Mollywood’s leading production house E4 Entertainment had bagged the remake rights of Arjun Reddy. The director’s name was kept under the wraps before the makers decided to reveal it last day.
Acclaimed filmmaker Bala will be directing the movie in Tamil. It must be noted that Bala was the one who gave Vikram his big break with the National award winning Sethu. It will be very interesting to see how Bala will be introducing Dhruv to the industry. The director is renowned for his intense style of filmmaking, with most of his films having a dark and disturbing nature. With Arjun Reddy’s remake, Bala is expected to showcase an unseen side of his.
Bala has directed Vikram in Sethu and Pithamagan, the latter won the star a National award for best actor.
Some of the director’s other noted films include Naan Kadavul, Nandha, Avan Ivan, Paradesi etc.
Arjun Reddy, released earlier this year emerged as a sensational success. The movie directed by debutant Sandeep Reddy Vanga was widely acclaimed by the critics as well as the commoners. Bollywood star Ranveer Singh has been approached for the Hindi remake while Yash is said to be playing the lead in the Kannada version.
Arjun Reddy starring Vijay Deverakonda in the titular role tells the story of a medical surgeon who falls madly in love with his college junior. Arjun becomes alcoholic post break-up and the rest of the story is about how he redeems himself.
Let’s wait and watch how Bala presents Dhruv and how the latter essays this challenging role.
