Actors R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Tamil film Vikram Vedha, which will soon be remade in Telugu, will not feature Venkatesh in any role, according to a statement released by the actor’s brother and popular producer Suresh Babu. Quashing reports, Suresh clarified that at present Venkatesh is currently shooting for Venky Mama.
“Venkatesh is not part of Vikram Vedha remake. He is currently shooting for Venky Mama, and an announcement about his new projects will follow soon. Until then, please don’t speculate anything,” read the statement. Not long ago, it was rumoured that Vikram Vedha Telugu remake will feature Nandamuri Balakrishna and Rajasekhar reprising the roles of Vijay Sethupathi and Madhavan, respectively. For reasons unknown, the project never took off with Balakrishna and Rajasekhar, eventually paving way to rumours that Rana and his uncle Venkatesh are likely to star in the remake.
