Suresh Productions has begun pre-production work for the remake of ‘Asuran’. The production house is going to produce it in Telugu with Venkatesh in association with the original Tamil producers. The casting process has also begun.

A casting call has been announced. Seven newcomers will be given a chance for the main roles. The casting call is announced for the male actors only. Venkatesh will reprise the role that was done by Dhanush in Tamil. ‘Asuran’ is a gritty drama directed by Vetrimaaran with a strong Dalit tone. Doubts were raised whether it would suit Venkatesh’s image but the senior star is going ahead with the remake plans.

Even after social media put up funny memes when the news of directorial reins handed over to Srikanth Addala, the production house has made an agreement with him. Addala is re-writing the script for the Telugu. After the debacle of ‘Brahmotsavam’, the director has been trying hard to make a movie to the sets and this remake as a blessing.
