Sankranthi 2017 has already gained good prominence in the industry circles as big ticket films like Balakrishna’s Gauthamiputra Satakarni and Chiranjeevi’s Khaidi No.150 are gearing up to hit the screens during the festive season. Now, the latest update reveals that another star hero Victory Venkatesh is also in Sankranthi race.
Venkatesh, who failed to make an impact at the box office with his recent outing Babu Bangaram, will next team up with lady filmmaker Sudha Kongara Prasad for the Telugu remake of Hindi – Tamil bilingual hit Saala Khadoos, an intense and true life sports drama that revolves around a former boxer whose career gets affected due to politics and then coaches an upcoming woman boxer. Madhavan and Rithika Singh played the crucial roles in the film.
The Telugu version will see Rithika Singh reprising her role from the original and Venky will play Madhavan’s character. It is learnt that the Telugu version will have sensible changes to suit the flavour of our audience. The regular shooting will flag of in Chennai in a few days. Reportedly, the makers of the film are planning to wrap up the shooting part by December and release the film for Sankranthi. It would be interesting to see if all the veteran stars will vie for box office success at the same time.
