He has now taken up the job of the creative head for actor Karthi’s next. His office is centrally located in Ooty, just half a kilometre from the town square, Charing Cross.

The Telugu rights were acquired by Dv Cine Creations and Kalpana Chitra. The Telugu dubbing rights were bought by Kalpana Koneru for a whopping price of Rs 90 lakhs. Initially, the makers wanted to release the Telugu version along with the Tamil, but it was director Bala who suggested a remake. And there were plans on to rope in the Baahubali star Anushka to reprise Jyothika's role in the Telugu version. However, with Anushka being busy with a slew of films needing her attention and Bala occupied with the Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy, the makers went ahead with the original plan of dubbing the film in Telugu.

TollywoodIf the plans work out favourably, Anushka Shetty will reprise Jo’s role in the Telugu version.Digital NativeDigital NativeThe Bala directorial Naachiyaar starring Jyothika in the lead role earned rave reviews from critics, especially for the portrayal of the heroine. This has prompted the filmmakers to go ahead with the Telugu remake of the movie. The Telugu dubbing rights were bought by Kalpana Koneru for a whooping Rs 90 lakh. And although the makers wanted to release the Telugu version immediately, director Bala suggested a remake. According to latest reports, talks are on to rope in Baahubali star Anushka Shetty to reprise Jo’s role in the Telugu version.

One of the finest actors in the film industry, Anushka is known for her heroine centric roles, such as the ones she played in Arundathie, Bhagmathie and Rudramadevi. She began her career with the Telugu movie Super, which released in 2005 but it was Arundathie that shot her to instant fame four years later.

Director Sudha Kongara Prasad gives us an unusual film where the stereotypical character of the cantankerous boxer meets his match when he picks up a foul-mouthed uncouth boxer for training into championship.
