Arjun Reddy remake: Check out Dhruv Vikram’s look for Varma!

Shoot for Arjun Reddy’s Tamil remake ‘Varma’ commenced on March 2 in Kathmandu, Nepal. The movie directed by National award winner Bala marks the acting debut of Chiyaan Vikram’s son Dhruv. Varma is also the maiden Tamil production of Mollywood’s leading banner E4 Entertainment.

Vikram who is in Nepal with his son revealed the new look of his son via his Instagram account. Similar to Vijay Deverakonda’s getup in Arjun Reddy, Dhruv also sports a bearded look. Everyone is now eager to see if Dhruv can repeat the same with the performance as well.

Arjun Reddy, released last year, was a huge success, both critically and commercially. The movie directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga tells the story of an impulsive medical surgeon, Arjun Reddy, 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.

Vijay Deverakonda’s stellar performance in the movie has been rated as one of the finest in Telugu cinema in recent years. So, it will be a big challenge for Dhruv as comparisons are bound to be made with the original. Director Bala is famous for his intense style of filmmaking, with most of his films having a dark and disturbing nature. With Arjun Reddy’s remake, he is expected to showcase an unseen side of his.

Varma’s technical crew includes cinematographer Sukumar and composer Radhan, who composed the music in Arjun Reddy as welll. Dialogues are penned by Raju Murugan, who has directed acclaimed movies like Cuckoo and Joker. The makers are still tight-lipped about the female lead and other supporting cast.
