Priyamani reprises Manju Warrier’s role in Asuran Telugu remake; Narappa makers release special poster on her birthday

Last year’s highly acclaimed Tamil film ‘Asuran’ is getting remade in Telugu as ‘Narappa’. Veteran star Venkatesh is playing the titular role, which was done by Dhanush in the original. Manju Warrier’s role from ‘Asuran’ is being essayed by Priyamani. It is the latter’s birthday today and the makers of ‘Narappa’ have released a special poster revealing her character’s look.

‘Asuran’ is the story of a lower caste family’s fight for survival. Director Vetrimaaran adapted the film from Poomani’s famous novel ‘Vekkai’. Dhanush and Manju Warrier’s performances in the film was widely appreciated. As the film gets remade in Telugu, both Venkatesh and Priyamani being seasoned actors are expected to come up with equally brilliant performances.

‘Narappa’ is directed by Srikanth Addala. Suresh Productions and Kalaipuli S Thanu’s V Creations are jointly producing the film. It is learnt that the script has been expected to be tweaked slightly to suit the sensibilities of the Telugu audience.
