Last year, before taking Ram Charan’s project on the sets, ace director Shankar announced a project with Bollywood star Ranveer Singh. Reportedly, the film is the Hindi remake of maverick director’s 2005 blockbuster vigilante drama, Anniyan ( Aparichitudu in Telugu). Jayantilal Gada is on board to bankroll the movie but as an unexpected scenario, the Tamil version’s producer Aascar V Ravichandran issued a notice to Shankar alleging that he is the whole and sole owner of the rights of Anniyan’s storyline. As per Ravichandran’s version, he bought the rights from legendary Tamil writer Sujatha.
While the issue is not yet resolved between both parties, the latest we hear from our sources is that Shankar will be teaming up with Ranveer Singh for the biggest pan-Indian cinematic movie. Reportedly, the film will be made as a 3-part series based on the iconic novel Velpari from the Tamil literature. After officially announcing the project based on Velpari novel, will Shankar clear the air by saying that he dropped the idea of remaking Anniyan in Hindi? Needs to be seen.
Currently, Shankar has two massive projects in the form of Indian 2 and RC15 at the shooting stage. While Indian 2 has Kamal Haasan as the lead actor, RC15 has Mega Powerstar Ram Charan as the main lead. After wrapping up the shooting formalities for both the films, Shankar will take Ranveer Singh’s pan-India project on the sets in mid-2023, say sources.
