Telugu remake of Dhanush starrer Asuran, the film's regular shoot commenced on Jan 22nd at Paalturu Village, Uravakonda in Anantapur District. The first shot has been picturized on Victory Venkatesh.

Dhanush's Asuran released last year and it opened to a massive response from the audience and critics alike. The film not only received a good response but also witnessed 100 days run at the ticket windows.
During a recent interaction with a leading daily, Venkatesh opened up on the negative comments for Asuran remake. Revealing that a number of people from the film fraternity have advised him not to do the film, the senior star said “People have doubted my ability in the past too. But it took me just half an hour to decide about doing this film.”
Admitting that remake films constitute 99 per cent of his success, the Daggubati scion stated that Asuran is the right film for him after F2 and Venky Mama. He is eagerly looking forward to starting the shoot and get into the shoes of the character.
