Neru Remake: Pawan Or Venkatesh?

“Vakeel Saab” holds a special place in the hearts of Pawan Kalyan fans, marking a memorable return for the actor during the post-COVID era. While there were rumors of a potential sequel, “Vakeel Saab 2,” under the production of Dil Raju, the idea was put on hold due to the absence of a suitable storyline. Now, there is an interesting debate going on among the film circles.

Interestingly, a potential storyline for a “Vakeel Saab” sequel has emerged from the Malayalam film industry. Directed by Jeetu Joseph, known for “Drishyam,” and featuring Mohanlal in the lead role, this courtroom drama “Neru” has performed exceptionally well in Malayalam cinema. There are rumors that Venkatesh might take it up, but some audiences feel Pawan Kalyan will be a perfect fit for the role.

Despite facing competition from “Salaar,” the film has survived and maintained its strength. The Malayalam film revolves around the hero’s fight for justice when the minister’s son assaults a visually impaired middle-class girl. With its compelling narrative, the film manages to sustain audience interest within a confined setting of two houses and a courtroom, lasting over two and a half hours.

This storyline, requiring minimal production costs aside from remunerations, could be an efficient choice for a quick project. Given Pawan Kalyan’s interest and availability, adapting this Malayalam hit for a sequel to “Vakeel Saab” could be promising, providing a powerful and socially relevant film for the Telugu audience.
