When ‘Theri’, starring
Vijay, hit theatre screens in 2016, it opened to "Theri-fic" reviews from critics and became a big money spinner at the box office. Directed by Atlee, the film became one of the highest grossing Tamil films that year, ranking in Rs 150 crore at the box office.
Now, the film is all set to be remade in
Telugu
with
Ravi Teja reprising Vijay’s role and
Catherine Tresa to step into Amy Jackson’s shoes. The yet-untitled flick is expected to go on floors after Ravi Teja completes shooting his upcoming entertainer ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, which is being directed by Srinu Vaitla. To be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the producers of the recent hit ‘Rangasthalam’, the film is likely to be wrapped later this year.
‘Theri’ tells the story of an honest cop
Vijay Kumar (Vijay), who fights against a powerful politician, played by veteran director J Mahendran. Notably, ‘Theri’ was dubbed in Telugu, but failed to impress the audience.
