“Remakes are not new to me. I’ve worked in several remakes in my career but ‘Gaddam Gang’ was quite challenging. Since it belongs to a new genre, I found remaking it with the original flavour a daunting task,” Rajasekhar told IANS.
“Gaddam Ganga is a dark comedy, a genre quite new to Telugu cinema.
“The original was widely appreciated. Hence, we had to push ourselves to give a product that’s as good as or better than ‘Soodhu Kavvum’. I think we’ve achieved that. It’s for audiences to watch the film and give their verdict,” he said.
Directed by Santosh Jayakumar, the film about a bunch of misfit kidnappers also features Sheena, Achu Rajamani, Naresh, Raghu Babu and Seetha in important roles.
