Bilingual movie Anaamika, the southern remake of Bollywood film
Kahaani, will hit the big screens around the festival of Dussehra in
October. Its lead
actress Nayantara says she is thrilled
about the movie.
The Tamil and Telugu remake is directed
by Sekhar Kammula, who plans to
complete the film by mid-July.
For Nayantara, "it's an honour to have
worked with a critically acclaimed and
award winning director like Sekhar". "I'm thrilled to be a part of this project
which gave me an opportunity to play a
strong female character. With a
completely new look in Anaamika, I hope that the audiences would appreciate the
film and my role," Nayantara said in a
statement.
In the Hindi film Kahaani, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, the National award-winning
actress Vidya Balan played the powerful
role of Vidya Bagchi.
The bilingual remake is currently being
filmed with the cast at a fast pace across
Hyderabad at real locations like Murgi
Market, Choodi Bazaar, Sultan Bazaar,
Charminar and Begum Bazaar.
The director says "this adaptation in
design and appearance of the characters is
completely different" from Kahaani.
"I hope it excites my audience. It's always
challenging to make interesting movies
and Anaamika is a challenge I have thoroughly enjoyed," added Sekhar.
Anaamika marks the debut of Viacom 18 Motion Pictures in the Telugu and Tamil
market and is being co-produced by
Endemol India, Logline Productions Pvt.
Ltd and Select Media Holdings.
