What happened to Balak Palak remake?
Even people who have been cast in key roles are clueless about the status of the comic drama.
For nearly two years now, there has been talk of a Telugu remake of the 2012 Marathi film Balak Palak. Earlier this year, actress Tejaswi Madivada confirmed that she’d be a part of the comic drama, to be directed by Srikanth Velagaleti. However, sources tell us that there has been no progress on the film since then and that the people who’ve been cast to play key roles are unaware of what’s happening.
Says an actor who was finalised to play a key role, “I don’t really know what’s happening because I haven’t heard from any of the filmmakers. It’s a bit confusing at the moment. I am assuming that the film is happening because I am quite excited about my part.”
The film would have been a game changer for Telugu cinema as it explores the topic of sex education for children.
