Ayyappanum Koshiyum remake: Pawan Kalyan next shooting begins

The shooting of the yet-untitled Telugu remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum, featuring Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati, who are sharing the screen for the first time, began on Tuesday in Hyderabad. On the occasion of shoot commencement, the makers shared a special behind the scenes video.

It was recently announced that Trivikram, known to be a ‘wordsmith’, has been roped in to write the dialogues and screenplay for the project, which is being directed by Saagar K Chandra. The makers made the announcement via a poster, welcoming Trivikram on board. 

Ayyappanum Koshiyum tells the story of its titular characters, Ayyappan Nair and Koshy Kurian, who lock horns over an incident and their egos take them on a wild trip. While Biju Menon played the character of Ayyappan Nair, a policeman with an unblemished record, Prithviraj Sukumaran was seen as a retired army havildar Koshy Kurian, who had put in 16 years of service. 

Meanwhile, Pawan Kalyan has two more projects coming up. He is awaiting the release of Vakeel Saab, the Telugu remake of Pink, very soon. Vakeel Saab is jointly produced by Boney Kapoor and Dil Raju. The project also stars Nivetha Thomas, Anjali and Ananya Nagalla in crucial roles. The Tamil version of Pink, Nerkonda Paarvai, which released last year, starred Ajith in the role of a lawyer, which was played by Amitabh Bachchan in the Hindi original.
