Vakeel Saab will be the one of the first major star film in Telugu to hit the screens this summer, as other star films such as Acharya and Naarappa will be releasing in the month of May. Expectations are very high on Vakeel Saab, as it will mark the comeback of Pawan Kalyan to films after a gap of more than three years.
The film will have Pawan Kalyan reprising the role which was played by Amitabh Bachchan in the Hindi original. The film went on the floors in January last year. The courtroom drama stars Anjali, Nivetha Thomas and Ananya Nagalla as the female leads, reprising the roles played by Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Andrea Tariang in Pink. Shruti Haasan has been roped in to play Pawan Kalyan’s partner in the film. According to reports, Prakash Raj will also play a key role in the film.
It may be noted Vakeel Saab has been declared as the most tweeted Telugu movie in 2020, along with Mahesh Babu's Sarileru Neekevvaru and Allu Arjun’s Pushpa. Pawan Kalyan also happens to be the most tweeted Telugu actor in the year 2020.
Vakeel Saab is produced by Boney Kapoor in collaboration with 'Dil' Raju. The technical crew comprises S Thaman for music, PS Vinod for cinematography and Prawin Pudi for editing.
Pawan Kalyan had stayed away from the arc lights for a couple of years due to his political commitments. He then decided to make his comeback with the Pink remake, considering the meaty role he was offered.
Meanwhile, the shooting of Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati starrer Telugu remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum commenced earlier this week. On the occasion of shoot commencement, the makers shared a special behind the scenes video, which also featured filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas, who has written the screenplay and dialogues for the film.
