Dhruv Vikram was to have made his acting debut with the Bala directorial Varma, a
remake of the hit Telugu movie Arjun Reddy. But this project was scrapped entirely
after the shooting was completed owing to creative differences between director Bala
and the producer.

Then the producers announced that the entire film will be re-shot with debutant
Girisayya helming it as the director. The director had worked as an assistant to director
Sandeep Vanga, who had directed Arjun Reddy.

In Adithya Varma, Dhruv will be reprising the role done by Vijay Deverakonda in the
original. The producer had retained Dhruv Vikram and music composer Rothan for the
new version of the remake while the rest of the star cast and crew were discarded.

While Bala’s version had Megha Chowdhury and Raiza Wilson as the female leads, the
new version will have Banita Sandhu and Priya Anand in their place. Ravi K Chandran
is cranking the camera for this venture. This film is now gearing up for release later in
July.

With the release scheduled, its lead star Dhru Vikram has posted a moving tribute to his
father Vikram, who stood as a pillar of strength behind him and ensured that Adithya
Varma was through.

Dhruv wrote on Instagram, “For showing up everyday, never giving up, always pushing
me to do better, never allowing anyone to settle for less, keeping the vision alive, never
losing sight of the bigger picture, never allowing me to lose hope, for giving me and
making me ‘Adithya Varma’, leaving no stone unturned, for always having my back and
for teaching me everything you have and continue to.”

For showing up everyday, never giving up, always pushing me to do better, never
allowing anyone to settle for less, keeping the vision alive, never losing sight of the
bigger picture, never allowing me to lose hope, for giving me and making me ‘Adithya
Varma’, leaving no stone unturned, for always having my back and for teaching me
everything you have and continue to. None of this would have been possible without
you. Someone asked me where your name was in the teaser after he knew how much
of yourself you gave for this film everyday... I said it’s right behind mine and everything
I do. Belated happy Father’s Day Appa. I hope I do you proud.

It may be noted here that Vikram gave priority his son’s film, so much so that he put
behind all his projects on hold.
