'Shiva' Remake With Naga Chaitanya

Trendsetting movies have been quite few in the Telugu film history and one flick that stands apart is ‘Shiva’ starring Nagarjuna and directed by the genius Ramgopal Varma. Now, a strong buzz is making rounds in the Tollywood circles and if it happens, then it will be interesting.

It is said that as a third venture, planning is going on by actor-director JD Chakavarthy to come up with a remake of ‘Shiva’. He is said to be showing interest in the project and talks are said to be going on with Nagarjuna and RGV with JD taking the lead.

Already JD remade the Bollywood hit ‘Ab Tak Chappan’ in Telugu as Siddham with Jagapathi Babu and proved his directorial capability. On the flip side, many are saying that it is time JD starts looking at something original than just remakes. For now, it looks like ‘Shiva’ might come back with his cycle chain.
