"The remake rights have been acquired for Rs.5.5 crore. The regular shooting is expected to start from later this year," a source close to Danayya told.
While the pre-production work has already begun, the process of finalising the director is underway.
Reportedly, M. Raja, the director of the original film may helm the Telugu version as well.
