Kannada Super hit film Shivalinga that starred Shiva Rajkumar will be remade in Tamil and Telugu by P Vasu. Earlier, there were reports that, Balakrishna will feature in the Telugu version, while Raghava Lawrence is already finalized for Tamil version. The speculations started after Balakrishna attending 100 days function of the movie in Bangalore, with invitation from director P Vasu.
However, seems like, things haven’t materialized. As per sources, Balakrishna will not be part of the film as he is presently busy with his 100th film Gautamiputra Satakarni and director P Vasu who made a film Maharadhi with Balayya wants to shoot both Telugu and Tamil versions simultaneously.
So, the director will be making Telugu and Tamil versions with Lawrence playing the lead with Ritika Singh in female lead. Ritika Singh, a boxer by profession, had debuted to Tamil and Hindi films respectively with Madhavan starred Saala Khadoos (Hindi) and Irudhi Settru (Tamil). She has also signed Telugu version of this movie that will have Venkatesh essaying the boxing coach.
Music for Shivalinga Telugu and Tamil versions will be composed by SS Thaman, who has great rapport with Lawrence. All the parts of Lawrence’s Muni franchise were super hits in Telugu. Especially, the last series Muni 3 was a big hit. With good following in masses, Lawrence is trying another horror thriller.
