Vijay Deverakonda To Play Krishna In Telugu Remake Of Gujarati Film
According to a Bollywood Hungama report, producer Dil Raju acquired the Telugu remake rights of Laalo. Earlier, reports surfaced that Ram Charan was considered for the film. But a source informed the portal, “It’s indeed true that Laalo’s Telugu remake is in the works. But Ram Charan is not a part of it. It’s Vijay Deverakonda who has bagged the much-sought-after role of Lord Krishna.”
The source further revealed that Vipul D Shah of the Optimystix helped Dil Raju finalise the deal. The official confirmation about the same is yet to be made. For the unversed, Vijay Deverakonda is one of the finest actors we have in Telugu cinema.
His fans are looking forward to watching him in Raanabali. If the latest report turns out to be true, it would be a delight for fans to see Vijay Deverakonda as Lord Krishna.
