Actor Pawan Kalyan today returned to the set of his upcoming Telugu film Vakeel Saab, a remake of the Hindi multiplex hit Pink (2016), and resumed shooting.
The star plays the role of a lawyer for the first time in his career in this project.
Pawan Kalyan, after a brief hiatus, returns to acting with this project, being directed by Venu Sriram, who collaborates with the actor for the first time.
He will complete shooting this project and then commence work on his next project Icon with Allu Arjun.
Vakeel Saab, which is produced by Boney Kapoor, also stars Anjali and Nivetha Thomas.
The Telugu 360 website reported that Pawan Kalyan rejoined the set today and will shoot for the next 10 days to complete the rest of his portion. The entire shooting is expected to be wrapped up by December.
The makers are hopeful of releasing Vakeel Saab for Sankranti 2021. Dil Raju is co-producing the project with Boney Kapoor.
Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan will begin shooting for his upcoming Telugu remake of the Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020) from December. Directed by the late Sachy, Ayyappanum Koshiyum tells the story of its titular characters, Ayyappan Nair and Koshy Kurian, who lock horns over an incident following which their egos take them on a wild trip.
Pawan Kalyan is likely to be seen playing the character of Ayyappan Nair, originally played by Biju Menon.
The Telugu star has two as-yet-untitled projects with directors Krish Jagarlamudi and Sagar Chandra in the pipeline. While Krish’s film is tipped to be a historical drama, the project with Sagar will see Pawan Kalyan in the role of a police officer.
