Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru which had Rahman in the lead was the last film to be released in 2016 and emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.
There were talks that the movie will be remade in Telugu with a leading hero. While it was speculated that Karthick Naren who directed the Tamil version will also be retained for the remake.
The young director has expressed that he wil not be part of the Telugu remake.
‘Talks are on for remaking #D16 in Telugu with one of the top stars of Tollywood. For a creator, it is not healthy to work on the same script & screenplay again because the magic may get lost. So I am not gonna retain the director’s chair for the remake. Will make an official announcement after things go on paper. Kerala release plan is on as well & it may hit the screens anytime,’ he has posted on his facebook page.
Meanwhile, he has announced that tomorrow’s collections of the movie will be donated for Jallikattu.
