Theri film was released in 2016
It has already been dubbed in Telugu. This news of a remake was not something that the fans took very well.
South SuperStar Pawan Kumar enjoys a cult status among fans and making a remake would make people lose interest in the film and affect Pawan’s star power. This has already been seen in the case of Chiranjeevi with the remake of Godfather.
Fan power along with the power of social media should not be underestimated. It might be a good idea to roll back the idea of a remake. If this is what the speculations have led to then the actual film might lead to a major loss for all involved.
