Samantha or Trisha for Sharwanand

Sharwanand has finally signed to act in the remake of Tamil blockbuster ‘96’. In recent interaction with the media, Sharwanand confirmed that he would be doing this film but he refused to divulge more details.

It is learnt that producer Dil Raju is now all set to finalize the actress for Sharwanand before announcing it officially.

The original Tamil film, a nostalgic romantic drama, featured Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha as the lead pair. The remake in Telugu is also going to be directed by Prem Kumar, who made it in Tamil. The director’s choice is to repeat Trisha in in Telugu as well. However, Dil Raju feels that Samantha would make good choice for our market.

A final call will be taken shortly.
