A @PujaKolluru Directorial and yes my next film!
A remake of an essential film is equal to the remakes of all the epics from mother languages to other languages. It is for the people who couldn’t afford reading or watching them in the original language.
Let’s celebrate this… https://t.co/ELLc0MNMOq
