Drishyam shooting in Araku The shooting of Venkatesh's movie is currently taking place at the picturesque Araku Valley in Visakhapatnam. Starring Meena and Nadhiya as the female leads, the movie is a remake of the Malayalam blockbuster, Drishyam.
The movie is directed by Sri Priya and Kamal Haasan would be playing the lead role in the Tamil version. Meena played the female lead in the original Malayalam version and Nadhiya is reprising the role of Asha Sharath in the original. Drishyam became the highest ever grosser in the history of Malayalam cinema.
While it would be far-fetched to expect a repeat in Telugu in terms of Box-office revenues, there is no denying the fact, that this movie could give a much needed break to the sagging career of Venkatesh.
His recent flicks Shadow and Masala failed to create an impact and competition is intense from the younger generation heroes. Against this backdrop, Venkatesh has decided to go in for a family-drama and being a hero, with family audiences as traditional fan base, the Telugu version of Drishyam might end his drought at the box-office.
