Director Prem Kumar hit the limelight with his very debut 96, a breezy romantic entertainer with Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha in the lead. A blockbuster film, critically acclaimed, the movie had its share of controversies when Prem was accused of story plagiarism.
Now, noted Tollywood producer Dil Raju has acquired the remake rights in Telugu and reportedly T’town stars Allu Arjun or Nani will be reprising Sethupathi and Premkumar will be making his debut in Telugu.
When DC contacted Prem this is what he has to say. “It is true that people from production (Dil Raju’s) side had approached me and asked if I was interested to direct the film in Telugu as well. Since the film revolves around premise of ‘love’, which is a universally accepted theme, though I am not familiar with Telugu, I hope I can manage. But nothing is firmed up yet. Even lead actors are not confirmed yet. I was told that the producer is away abroad and things will be finalised after his return.”
