The makers of the Telugu remake of Asuran have titled it as Naarappa and kick-started its shooting from today. Samantha, Anil Ravipudi and many other celebs are stunned by Venkatesh's first look from the movie.

Venkatesh is known for his family dramas and entertainer films and he has had an urban image for a large part of his acting career. But of late, he has been doing challenging and new kind of roles. Post the success of Venky Mama and F2, the Victory actor surprised every by announcing to do the remake of Asuran, which is a revenge drama with a shade of caste politics.

What is even more interesting about this project is its director – Srikanth Addala who is also known for his family entertainers like Kotha Bangaru Lokam, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Mukunda and Brahmotsavam. While some doubted the capabilities of this team, many were eager to see Venkatesh's first look and its title.

Finally, Suresh Productions, which is bankrolling this project, tweeted the first look posters of Venkatesh today and revealed its title as Naarappa. The producer wrote, "#VictoryVenkatesh74 is #NAARAPPA Shoot begins!! Stay Tuned to explore his world. @VenkyMama @SureshProdns @theVcreations #SreekanthAddala #Manisharma."

Venkatesh is essyining the role played by Dhanush in Asuran and the makers have copied his look from the original. But the urban hero looks magnificent in the untidy and ferocious makeover. Many people including some celebs like Samantha, Manchu Manoj and Anil Ravipudi are spellbound over his transformation. They took to Twitter to share their excitement about the movie.
