Telugu super star insists on Gautham Menon


After making his debut in Josh, Telugu star Naga Chaitanya, son of popular actor Nagarjuna, is ready to don the greasepaint for the Telugu remake of Vinnathandi Varuvaya. Apparently, Chaithanya’s father is confident of Gautham Menon’s directorial skills so much so that he insists on having his son star in the remake even before the film hits the screens.

Given Gautham’s record, Nagarjuna’s calculation can never go wrong, one can presume. Vinnathandi Varuvaya is a breezy romantic story that is sure to attract the younger audience and hence Nagarjuna feels that it would be better for his son’s career.

The Indian National flag, measuring 1115 feet has been specifically made for the film Appavi.
