Exclusive: Sagar Chandra To Direct Pawan Kalyan

Earlier, we reported that, Power Star Pawan Kalyan will be doing official remake of Malayalam blockbuster Ayyappanum Koshiyum. Sithara Entertainments acquired the remake rights and Rana Daggubati is being considered to play the other lead role in the film.

Now, we exclusively learnt that, Sagar Chandra of Appatlo Okadundevadu fame will direct the movie. The director is reportedly working on the script and is making several changes to it. He is asked to cut down the duration of the film because the original version was bit lengthy.

While Pawan Kalyan will reprise Biju Menon’s role, Rana will essay the role played in the original by Prithviraj Sukumaran. The film is expected to go on floors only in 2022, as Pawan Kalyan committed to do few other projects.

Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab is in last leg of shooting and he will next work with Krish. He has films with Harish Shankar and Surender Reddy as well.

Sagar Chandra, on the other hand, was supposed to do a film with Varun Tej. But, the film got shelved for unknown reasons.
