The makers of Varmaa, the Tamil version of the 2017 Telugu hit Arjun Reddy, have decided to shoot the film again due to various creative and other differences.
The film has already been shot, but E4 Entertainment on Thursday announced that it will be reshot and it will now release in June instead of February this year.
Here is the full statement.
Dhruv Vikram, who is making his debut with Varmaa, will be a part of the new version, while official announcements regarding the "new cast and crew including director will be made shortly".
A trailer for the film had already been released.
The original film, starring Vijay Devarakonda and Shalini Pandey in the lead, revolves around a medical student who falls in love with his junior and how their relationship evolves.
The Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy is also in development. Actors Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani are reprising the roles of Vijay and Shalini Pandey in the remake titled Kabir Singh. It is directed by Sandeep Vanga who directed the Telugu original as well.
