Dhanush’s directorial debut film ‘Pa Paandi’, which opened to positives response in Tamil Nadu this weekend, is reportedly gearing up for a Telugu remake.
Veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu has reportedly given his nod to reprise the role essayed by Raj Kiran. Reports further added that Superstar Rajinikanth, who is a good friend of Mohan Babu, has held a special screening of Pa Paandi for the veteran Telugu actor. Impressed by the film, Mohan Babu has given his nod for the Telugu remake.
Pa Paandi explores the story of an aging stuntman’s love life and the sacrifices he makes for his closed ones. The way Dhanush narrated this emotional tale got appreciation from audiences. The lead role perfectly suits Mohan Babu and considering that the Telugu audiences are now open to content-based not-so commercial films, the idea of Telugu remake was pitched by Rajini.
Dhanush and Mohan Babu will together produce the Telugu remake, said media reports. The remake may go on floors in the latter half of this year.
