Is the movie a remake of Sankranthiki Vasthunam

Earlier reports were rife that Daggubati Venkatesh and Meenakshi Chaudhary starrer Sankranthiki Vasthunam will be remade in Hindi. Reacting to the news, the director shared, “Such rumours keep floating in the market. Until now, a lot has been said about me and my films. But I never give clarification, as the truth comes out eventually. The story of our film is close to the premise of (Sankranthiki Vasthunam). Also, Dil Raju bhai is the producer of both the films. All I can say is that hamari film acchi hai. Mehnat poori ki hai humne.”

He went on to heap praises on the popular South producer Dil Raju and said, “He has been an old friend. We were supposed to do a film with Shahid Kapoor. But it didn’t get made for some reason. Raju bhai is a very nice guy and a reputed producer down South. When our previous project didn’t materialise, I had the wish in my mind that ‘Inke liye ek film toh karni hai’. When he approached me for this film, I told him, ‘Why not?’ and signed the film.”
