Anushka Shetty to star in Telugu remake of Tamil crime drama 'Naachiyaar'?

We all know that Bala directorial ‘

Naachiyaar

’ starring Jyothika in the lead role will be remade in Telugu. With the Telugu dubbing rights bought for a whooping Rs 90 lakh, the makers wanted to release a Telugu version of the movie. However director Bala suggested to make a remake.
If rumours are to be believed, Anushka Shetty is being considered to reprise Jyothika’s role of a ruthless cop. However, keeping in mind that Anushka is busy with a slew of films, it seems doubtful if she would give a nod to the movie. According to reports, if the makers are unable to rope in Anushka to play the role, they may go ahead with dubbing the film in Telugu. An official confirmation on the same is awaited.
Anushka Shetty was last seen in horror thriller ‘

Bhaagamathie

’ which did exceedingly well at the box-office — both domestic and overseas and went on to become one of the biggest hits in Telugu cinema this year. Directed by G.Ashok, Anushka played the titular role and left her audience in awe of her performance.
