Lifting a successful concept from Tamil and remaking the same in Telugu might not be an as easy task as what we think. One has to make enough changes, modifications in the script and characterizations so as to match the sensibilities and commercial attitude of our audience. Owining the subject and standing upto the challenge of original is going to be the big challenge for any director and producer.
‘We made plenty of changes to ‘Varutha Padutha Vaalibar Sangam.’ Actually, I liked the direction style of Nageswara Reddy during the times of ‘Denikaina Ready’ and was waiting for the right subject to work with him. Once I saw the Tamil version, I immediately took the decision to act in it. Due to some health issues, I grew fat which is converted into muscle used for my character in the film. Tamil producers can again remake ‘Current Theega’ because of huge amendments we made to the original. Finally, I am happy with the output,’ Manoj said.
