Jr NTR in 'Ramudu Bheemudu' remake



Ramudu-Bheemudu was one of the classics produced by legendary producer D. Rama Naidu on his banner. It had NTR, Jamuna in the lead and was a run away blockbuster in 1964. Recently, the veteran producer arranged for a screening of the film ‘Malleswari’ for the Governer – Sushil Kumar Shinde, the former Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Rama Naidu said that the honorable Governor enjoyed the screening, and he also wants to showcase their banner’s other hit – Ramudu Bheemudu. While the press questioned him why dint he colourize the old classic and re-release it like it was done for Mughal-e-Azam, Rama Naidu said that he had those plans but shelved them, after another idea was born. He said, “I am planning to make this film with the current generation NTR in the lead. The work on this project has already begun and things are falling in place. The project should begin in the summer if things go well.” Even earlier, Rama Naidu expressed his interest in working with NTR Jr. While this was his take, the confirmation is yet to come from NTR’s side, who always maintained he wanted to act in a remake of his grandfather’s superhit films.
