Not Fahadh Faasil, but THIS Telugu actor roped in for a remake of Aavesham? Here’s what we know

As a lifestyle expert with an extensive background in the film industry, I must say that Fahadh Faasil continues to impress me with his diverse and captivating performances. His latest work, Aavesham, showcases his versatility as an actor, proving that he can excel in both leading roles and supporting ones.

The film “Aavesham,” an early release for Fahadh Faasil this year, has earned widespread praise from both critics and audiences. Every intricate aspect of the movie has been carefully observed and highly valued. Directed by Jithu Madhavan, the picture also performed well financially. Recently, it’s been reported that a Telugu remake of “Aavesham” is in development, with a skilled actor set to play the lead character.

Indeed, as Filmibeat noted, the Telugu remake will star Ravi Teja, stepping into the role originally portrayed by Fahadh. It promises to be intriguing to see if the “Mass Maharaja” can deliver a faithful adaptation of such a renowned film and if his casting is suitable for the part.

For those unfamiliar, the film titled “Aavesham,” meaning excitement, premiered in April 2024. It was jointly produced by Fahadh himself, his wife Nazriya Nazim, and Anwar Rasheed. The movie is directed by Jithu Madhavan and focuses on the lives of three city-dwelling teenagers who encounter a local gangster named Ranga in Bangalore.

After premiering in cinemas, the movie became available on streaming platforms following the acquisition of its digital release rights by Amazon Prime Video, where it was streamed.

It’s worth noting that Aavesham is a departure from the usual roles Fahadh has taken on, as he’s generally known for his moving supporting performances in films such as the Pushpa series and most recently, Vettaiyan. However, whether you agree or not, Aavesham stands out as an off-the-beaten-path film for him.

Recently, Fahadh has earned notable accolades for his acting in the movie “Pushpa: The Rise” starring Allu Arjun. Notably, he will take on his iconic antagonist role again in this film, a fact that has left fans in awe.

In one of his throwback interviews with Film Companion, Fahadh disagreed that the Pushpa franchise did anything good for him and rejected it, agreeing that it made him refer to him as a pan-India star. 

I made it clear to Sukumar sir that Pushpa didn’t do anything for me. I don’t feel the need to hide this fact. Honesty is important to me, and I want to be upfront about it. My focus is on my own work here, with no disrespect intended to anyone or anything else. The expectation of magic after Pushpa’s success… no, that’s not a factor for me. My collaboration with Sukumar sir is based purely on mutual respect and love. And let me be clear, my efforts are firmly planted in Malayalam cinema. That’s where you’ll find me.

In terms of his career, Fahadh has several upcoming projects such as Pushpa 2, Odum Kuthira Chadum Kuthira, Don’t Trouble The Trouble, and a few more that are in the works.
