One of the most hyped remakes in the current times is none other than a remake of Tamil hit Asuran that has Danush in the lead. The Telugu version will feature Venkatesh in the lead, and his brother Suresh Babu confirmed that Srikanth Addala will be helming the version.
Interestingly there is a talk that the makers are actually approaching Shriya Saran to play the role of Venky’s wife in the film, which was played by Manju Warrier in the original. The role has lots of intensity, a bit of action and huge emotion surround it, that it needs someone who has that compelling screen presence. Here comes an interesting update about it.
Actually Suresh Babu is said to have felt that Anushka would do more justice to the role than Shriya. Earlier she has paired up with Venky in movies like Chintakayala Ravi and their chemistry worked out well. After Baahubali, surely Anushka has risen to a new level of stardom and acting prowess, and hence Asuran Telugu team is said to be thinking of casting her.
“Already discussions are going on with Anushka and if remuneration thing gets finalised, then she will be aboard” a source in the know shared.
