Powerstar Pawan Kalyan stepped into the shoes of Katamarayudu and the movie is currently in final stages of shoot. Directed by Dolly, the movie is the remake of Tamil film Veeram. The recently released teaser raised the expectations all over and Pawan will be seen essaying the role of a faction leader in Katamrayudu. Shruti Haasan is the female lead and the makers are in plans to release the movie during summer this year. The overseas rights deal of the film has been closed recently.

One of the leading overseas distributors bagged the rights for a whopping price of Rs 11.5 crores which is huge. The movie should perform exceptionally well and should mint $ 2 million for break-even. Though it is a risk betting big on a film that is a remake, the craze of Pawan can sure do wonders at the box-office. Produced by North Star Entertainments, Katamarayudu will hit the screens during Ugadi this year.
