It's known that 'Bheeshma' actor Nithiin will be doing the Telugu remake of Sriram Raghavan's 'Andhadhun' (Hindi). Tabu's character from the original is crucial to the story. Who is going to reprise her role in Telugu? At first, media reports claimed that Tabu herself will reprise the challenging role. Later, Ramya Krishna's name was mentioned in reports. More recently, 'Pokiri' actress Ileana's name, too, has been cited in reports.

The latest name to do the rounds is that of 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' actress Nayanthara. Rumours have it that the Lady Superstar will be part of the remake, which will be directed by Merlapaka Gandhi of 'Express Raja' fame.

An official word is absent as of now, but if Nayanthara indeed comes on board, the film's stocks will go up. The remake needs both star value and buzz. Nayan is a lavishly paid actress and the film's budget, too, will ratchet up if she accepts the movie.

Nithiin, who recently got married, will complete Venky Atluri's 'Rang De' before shooting for the 'Andhadhun' remake.
