Neram to be remade in Telugu by Dasari Narayana Rao

The Tamil-Malayalam bilingual hit Neram is all set to be remade in Telugu as the remake rights have been reportedly acquired by Telugu filmmaker Dasari Narayana Rao. In Tamil and Malayalam the movie, starring Nivin Pauly and Nazriya Nazim, emerged as a blockbuster.

Rao said, "I really liked the film. The entire story will unfold in a day, from morning to evening. I have bought the remake rights. My long time associate Ravi Kumar will direct it.” He added further, "It's a universal concept that good will be followed by bad and so on. We thought this premise is apt for a story in any language. The cast is yet to be finalised.” Rao, the 66-year-old director who has created more than 100 films, said about his previously planned project, "I was supposed to direct a film but it got delayed due to several reasons. I haven't dropped that idea and I intend to start working on it.
