Adithya Varma teaser: Dhruv Vikram-starrer is a scene-by-scene remake of Arjun Reddy

The teaser of Dhruv Vikram starrer Adithya Varma, Tamil remake of Arjun Reddy (2017), was unveiled on Sunday, 16 June, and it assures to be a scene-by-scene remake of the original.

The film, which marks the acting debut of Tamil star Vikram’s son Dhruv Vikram, has been directed by first-time filmmaker Girisayya.

The teaser introduces us to Dhruv’s character – Adithya Varma - who is the topper of college, topper of the university and topper of the board. According to his professor, he has passed out of college with impeccable track record.

However, there’s one issue. Adithya is a zero when it comes to anger management. This dialogue is followed by fleeting shots of Adithya’s uncontrollable anger. The remake also features the popular scene from the original where the hero swears and goes and knocks the living daylights out of someone who messes with his girl.

Banita Sandhu and Priya Anand have been signed as the leading ladies. While Banita will reprise Shalini Pandey’s role from Arjun Reddy, Priya is believed to be playing herself.

The remake was originally directed by Bala, who was forced to leave the project after the makers alleged that they were not happy with his version of the film.

In a statement, Bala had revealed that it was his decision to leave the project and denied the allegations made by the producers. 

“I am forced to release this explanation, due to the false statement from the producer of Varmaa. In order to safeguard creative freedom, it was my own decision to relieve myself from the project. Considering Dhruv Vikram’s future, I would like to end this here.”
