Some time ago there was a speculation that Nandamuri Balakrishna would play the hero in a Tamil remake of ‘Kavalan’, which was originally made in Malayalam with the title ‘Body Guard’. Bellamkonda Suresh bagged the remake rights in Telugu.
The latest buzz is that the producer is considering Gopichand for the lead role played by Vijay in Tamil. Both the Tamil and Malayalam versions were directed by Siddique.
The producer is of the opinion to get it made in Telugu by the same director but it is not yet finalised.
