A confidential source reveals, “Initially, the team was contemplating on casting either Jiiva or Jayam Ravi in the remake. Later, it was decided Ravi would play the lead. However, the production unit that has acquired the remake rights of the film, is planning to make the flick a bilingual and are looking for an actor who has a market in both Kollywood and Tollywood. Nagarjuna’s son Naga Chaitanya is familiar face both Telugu and also Tamil. Naga Chaitanya, who did a cameo in “Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa” and is also doing Radha Mohan’s next in Tamil, seems to fit the bill.”
The source adds, “Another possibility is that Ravi might be cast in the Tamil remake and Naga Chaitanya in the Telugu. Talks are on with both the actors and a clearer picture will emerge in a few days.”
