Sunil's next is a Tamil remake

The actor, all set to be directed by Gopi Ganesh, will start shooting for the remake next month onwards

Even as comedian-turned-lead actor Sunil is gearing up for the release his latest film, Ungarala Rambabu, he has signed another film. According to a source, the actor has agreed to do the remake of Tamil blockbuster Sathuranga Vettai.

“After the Tamil release in 2014, many have been wanting to remake this film in Telugu since the last couple of years, and finally it has reached Sunil. The story is different and realistic, thus the film was a big hit in Tamil,” says a source.

Ganesh Gopi, who has worked with Puri Jagannadh in the past and directed the 2014 film Romeo, will be directing the  film. Sivalenka Krishna Prasad, who recently bankrolled  Nani-starrer Gentleman, will produce it along with Ramesh Pillai.

The project is currently in its pre-production phase, and the remaining cast will also be finalised soon.
