Telugu cinema has been remaking Malayalam and Tamil films ever since. I have seen N number of Malayalam films copied, but never seen any acceptance from the Telugu cinema on the same. In the above article, the actor does admit its a remake, but he adds a 'twist' by saying that love is depicted more in Telugu version (just for sake of it). Right from the time I saw Classmates(Malayalam), I knew it will definitely be remade in other three languages. First ones done, now other two are waiting to do it. I am just a bit disappointed as the other day, I read in paper about another remake 'Chandramukhi' (tamil) being remade into Hindi, but the article mentioned, it is a remake of a Tamil film instead of mentioning the original (malayalam).
