Pawan Kalyan Kicks Off The Shoot For Telugu Remake Of “Pink”

Pawan Kalyan, fondly known as Powerstar, has given the Telugu film industry his share of superhit films such as Thammudu (1999), Badri (2000), Kushi (2001), Jalsa (2008), Gabbar Singh (2012), Attarintiki Daredi (2013) and many other films. The actor has carved a niche for himself in Tollywood industry and has a huge fan following amongst the Telugu audiences not only in India but all over the world also.

Pawan Kalyan lately has been in news for his role of lawyer in the Telugu remake of Bollywood hit film Pink (2016). Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Taapsee Pannu and Kirti Kulhari in lead roles, Pink was one of the most successful films of 2016, which kick-started a discussion around the topic of consent. The movie is now being remake in Telugu with Pawan Kalyan. There were reports of stills of the movie being leaked from the sets, which went viral on social media in no time.

The untitled film will be reportedly directed by Venu Sriram starring Anjali and Nivetha Thomas in lead roles. It sees Powerstar Pawan Kalyan returning to silver screen after a hiatus, who was last seen in Agnyaathavaasi (2018) which failed to garner the required attention at the box office. A report mentions that Pawan Kalyan will take home a hefty paycheque of Rs 60 crore as remuneration for this feature. Meanwhile, the untitled film will have the dialogues by filmmaker Trivikram Sreenivas while the other details are still under the wraps.

Before Telugu, Pink has been remade in Tamil as well. Headlined by Ajith Kumar, the Tamil version of the movie went on to set the cash registers ringing and became a huge hit. It remains to be seen whether the Telugu version lives up to the high expectations of the audiences or not. Keep visiting this space for more details on the upcoming film.
