Two weeks ago, Lyca Productions, a banner best known as the producers of one of the India's highly anticipated films 2.0, made an announcement saying that they will next be seen remaking a Pawan Kalyan film titled Attarintiki Daredi in Tamil. Now, buzz in the media is that actor Simbu (STR) has been roped in to reprise Pawan Kalyan's role from the original and that director Sundar. C has been brought in for the direction.
Nothing has been officially announced yet but if materialized, this would be a first-time collaboration for the said actor and director. Attarintiki Daredi is a 2013 hit comedy-drama about a grandson trying to reconcile his aunt and his family with his grandfather. The movie was originally written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas and featured Samantha as the female lead.
