Except for the fact that it is spearheaded by power star Pawan Kalyan and supreme hero Sai Tej, not many details of Vinodaya Sitham remake, which went to floors last week in Hyderabad, were out. On Tuesday though, the makers disclosed the supporting roster of the film. While heavyweights like Brahmanandam, Tanikella Bharani, Rohini and Subbaraju in addition to Raja Chembolu are on board for key roles, wink girl Priya Prakash Varrier and Lakshya girl Ketika Sharma will lend addition to the glam department.
Vinodaya Sitham remake, a joint production venture between People Media Factory and Zee Studious, is currently on sets in Hyderabad. Original director P Samithirakani is directing the Telugu version as well.
The Tamil original, a fantasy comedy released in 2021, told the story of a self-obsessed man (played by Thambi Ramaiah) in his 50s—also a control freak— who dies in an accident. At his request, “the time” (Samuthirakani) grants him an extension of 90 days to correct his ways. Ramaiah’s role has been given a complete new spin by film’s dialogue and screenplay writer Trivikram Srinivas to be played by Sai Tej, while Pawan will play “the time”.
S Thaman is composing tunes for the project, continuing his association with Pawan Kalyan after Bheemla Nayak and OG with Sujeeth Sign, while George Williams is the cinematographer.
