Veteran director P Vasu tried all his best ways out to block Nandamuri Balakrishna dates in the remake of Kannada hit ‘Shiva Linga.’ In fact, NBK also attended this film’s 100 days function held recently in Bengaluru. The mysterious thriller with lot of suspense was deftly handled by P Vasu who is in fact familiar with films in this genre like cult hit ‘Chandramukhi’ and an average ‘Nagavalli.’
Apparently, Balakrishna hasn’t got any time to think about remakes because of busy schedules planned for ‘Gauthami Puthra Satakarni.’ Without any dual minds, Balayya said a kind no to P Vasu. Whatsoever, the remake idea has to be implemented at earliest possible. After checking all the alternatives, P Vasu went ahead with Lawrence Raghavendra in the main protagonist character to be remade in both Telugu, Tamil languages in parallel.
Lawrence enjoys huge patronage in horror-thriller genre with all three in ‘Muni’ series received to outstanding commercial response. So, ‘Shiva Linga’ remake is sure to commence with regular shooting schedules.
