After Pulimurugan, blockbuster movie Oppam to Telugu

Mohanlal starrer Oppam had recently broken the collection record set by Drishyam, and thereby became the second highest grosser in Malayalam cinema after Pulimurugan.

Oppam directed by Priyadarshan was a crime thriller about a blind man trying to protect a girl from a serial killer. Mohanlal played the blind man Jayaraman in the movie while Kollywood actor Samuthirakani played the antagonist.

The movie was both critically and commercially acclaimed with critics praising Priyadarshan’s skilled direction and the lead cast’s performance.

It was earlier rumoured that Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan will be playing the lead in the Tamil version. But now Priyadarshan has confirmed that the movie will not be remade, but will instead be dubbed and released in Tamil.

The movie will also be dubbed in Telugu clearly inspired after the success of Mohanlal’s previous movies Vismayam and Janatha Garage. The actor now enjoys huge popularity among the masses. So the makers will be hoping for a great opening.

Meanwhile, Oppam released during the Onam season this year is currently marching towards the 100 day mark.
