The Tamil remake of critically-acclaimed Telugu film Arjun Reddy titled Varma is being directed by Bala. The film marks the debut of Vikram’s son Dhruv, who will reprise Vijay Devarakonda’s role from the original. The team has successfully wrapped up the first schedule after shooting some important scenes in Kathmandu, Nepal last month.

Bala, who is basking in the success of Naachiyaar, is leaving no stone unturned to ensure success of the remake version as well. The director has roped in three writers Nalan Kumarasamy, Thiagarajan Kumararaja and Srinivasan to work on the film’s script. The director has collaborated with these young talents to bring a fresh perspective to the film. 

Nalan Kumarasamy of Soodhu Kavvum fame has penned the scripts for Theeya Velai Seyyanum Kumaru, Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum and Super Deluxe. Thiagarajan Kumararaja of ‘Aaranya Kaandam’ fame has co-written the script of Gautham Menon’s Yennai Arindhaal. Srinivasan had penned the dialogues for Soodhu Kavvum. The trio is jointly working together on the script of the film. 

Meanwhile, filmmaker Raju Murugan, known for helming films such as Cuckoo and Joker, has been signed to pen the dialogues. The film's leading lady is yet to be announced. The project is being bankrolled by E4 Entertainment.
