The film is still untitled but will have producer Dil Raju is bankrolling it. Shoot is expected to start from April.
The original film has created a massive craze among fans. The two characters in the film – Ram and Jaanu – are popular as memes and quotes on the internet, in addition to many trying to emulate these two. A romantic drama, the film is a poem of sorts, of the reunion of two high school lovers and a poignant look at their story 22 years later. Trisha’s character has become so popular, that even the outfit she wears is something that most apparel stores are stocking up on. Playing Jaanu aka Janaki Devi, Trisha is seen wearing a simple yellow kurta, light blue jeans and a blue silk stole with hair tied into a low ponytail and a tiny bindi on the forehead.
The film has also inspired a Kannada remake that stars Bhavana in the lead. The film will be directed by Preetham Gubbi.
