Arvind Swamy returns as baddie in Charan's next

Having got rave reviews for his act as the baddie in Tamil blockbuster Thani Oruvan, Arvind Swamy is all set to do an encore in the film's Telugu remake as well. Ram Charan is playing the lead in the movie directed by Surrender Reddy.
'The likes of Madhavan and Nara Rohit were also considered for the role initially. However, the makers felt that Arvind was perfect for the role because of the conviction with which he performed in the original,' shares a source, adding, 'He will be playing a suave, stylish villain who battles with brains.'
The actor has reportedly agreed to come on board after being offered a record remuneration.
