The upcoming Telugu film Naarappa, featuring Priyamani Raj and Venkatesh Daggubati in lead roles, resumed shooting in Hyderabad, the filmmakers announced on Wednesday.
Sharing a few stills from the film on Twitter, the makers wrote, “Victory Venkatesh and the entire #Narappa team has resumed shooting! We would like to send the best of wishes to our whole team! Stay safe @VenkyMama @priyamani6 @SBDaggubati @theVcreations #SreekanthAddala #ManiSharma”
Directed by Srikanth Addala, the Telugu action drama is a remake of the Tamil film Asuran, which is based on the novel Vekkai by Poomani. The film starred Dhanush and Manju Warrier in lead roles and the story touched upon social issues such as caste oppression, land issues, and discrimination.
In the Telugu version, Venkatesh will portray the role of Naarappa while Priyamani will play the role of his wife. In the Tamil version, Warrier played the role of Dhanush’s wife.
