Regina Cassandra and Nivetha Thomas’ upcoming Telugu action film has been titled Saakini Dhaakini. Directed by Sudheer Varma, the film is an official remake of Korean action-thriller Midnight Runners.
The makers of the film announced the title, on the occasion of actress Nivetha Thomas’ birthday. The shoot of Saakini Daakini has been completed and post-production works are currently underway.
Midnight Runners is an investigative thriller that tells the story of two students at a police academy and how they bust a gang of human traffickers.
While the 2017 Korean action-comedy featured two male actors in the lead, the Telugu remake will feature two leading ladies in the titular roles. The film is bankrolled by Suresh Productions.
