The word is, Suresh Babu was so impressed with the Bollywood movie “Piku,” he is seriously considering a remake of the hit film with Victory Venkatesh and Samantha most likely to play lead roles. Venkatesh's brother and Producer, has his heart set on making the movie in Telugu and is reportedly in talks with the makers of “Piku.” Always keen to work in remakes, Venkatesh has readily agreed to play the role of Amitabh, a hypochondriac father. Both him and Suresh are keen on taking Samantha on board in the place of Deepika who played a Bengali architect and Amitabh's reel daughter in the movie. Samantha has not signed a single Telugu movie after her last and has been active in the Tamil film industry instead. The makers have put her on the list of actresses fit for the role in the remake and will approach her once they acquire the rights. If she says yes, this will be considered her comeback movie. Suresh Productions has not yet received the rights but the news is already creating a buzz on social media.
