The successful Malayalam flick 'Classmates' is being remade as 'Classmates' again by Sravanthi Ravikishore on the banner of Sri Sravanthi Movies with K Vijayabhaskar wielding the megaphone, and Sumanth, Sharwanand, Sunil and Ravivarma as heroes, and Sada and Kamalini Mukherjee as heroines.

The shooting of the film was launched recently amidst several prominent film personalities in Ramanaidu Studios of Hyderabad. SV Krishna Reddy, D Sureshbabu, Tammareddy Bharadwaja, C Kalyan, Achireddy, EVV Satyanarayana, Arjunaraju, KC Sekhar Babu and others attended the programme.

Sumanth says, 'For the second time I am working with Sravanti Ravikishore and my first film in our combination is 'Gowri'. It will be quite comfortable to work in this banner. Moreover, I am very happy for working with Vijayabhaskar. I am sure that the film would come out well.'

Ravikishore says, 'This is the third film in my combination with Vijayabhaskar. Both the films we worked together earlier — 'Nuvve Kavali and Nuvvu Naaku Nachav' were big hits. This film would repeat the history of success. This subject would perfectly suit Sumanth's image and the script prepared by Abburi Ravi is quite good. We just took the main theme of the original film and made suitable changes to suit the Telugu nativity. We are sure that the film would be a definite hit.'

Vijayabhaskar says, 'This is my third film in Sravanthi banner. Sumanth, Sada and Kamalini Mukherji are doing very good roles in this film. The film would reach everyone's expectations.'
