Nandamuri Balakrishna is known for his reluctance to remake films from other languages. Over the past 20 years, he has done only one remake, Lakshmi Narasimha, which was the Telugu adaptation of the Tamil blockbuster Saami released in 2004. Aside from the remake of the classic Lava Kusa titled Sri Ramarajyam, Balakrishna has avoided remakes.
However, recent buzz on social media suggests that Balakrishna might be considering another remake. Rumors are circulating that he is set to star in the Telugu remake of the Malayalam film Aavesham, which became a sensation a few months ago. The original Aavesham featured Fahadh Faasil known to Telugu audiences for his role in Pushpa. His performance in Aavesham was highly praised making the film a blockbuster hit.
The character played by Fahadh in Avesham is complex and highly intriguing making it a coveted role for many actors. Despite this, it is hard to picture anyone other than Fahadh in that role. Balakrishna typically avoids remakes and prefers roles that align with his distinctive style, considering this film is surprising to many.
Mythri Movie Makers, a production house that has collaborated with Balakrishna on multiple projects is reportedly trying to acquire the remake rights for Aavesham. They aim to recreate the magic of the original with Balakrishna in the lead. This potential project has generated significant interest and speculation among fans and the film industry alike.
If Balakrishna decides to take on this role, it could become one of the most talked-about movies. His involvement would undoubtedly bring a new dimension to the character and attract a large audience. As of now, these are just rumors, and it remains to be seen whether Balakrishna will indeed step into Fahadh Faasil’s shoes for this ambitious remake.
