Rajni-Sameera in Aptha Rakshaka remake?

Kannada superstar Vishnuvardhan's 200th and last film Aptha Rakshaka is storming the box office ever since its release. The film has recently replaced Mungaru Male as the highest grosser in Sandalwood so far.

Aptha Rakshaka, the sequel of Apthamitra (which was remade in Tamil as Chandramukhi with superstar Rajinikanth in the lead), is directed by P. Vasu and Gurukiran has scored the music. The film stars Dr. Vishnuvardhan, Vimala Raman, Lakshmi Gopalaswamy, Bhavana, Sandhya, Komal Kumar, Srinivasamurthy, Avinash and others. The producer is Krishna Prajwal.

There are widespread reports that a Tamil remake is planned by Superstar Rajinikanth and he will reprise the role of late Kannada superstar Vishnuvardhan in Aptha Rakshaka. These rumours started after Superstar Rajinikanth along with producer Ramkumar and Prabhu watched the preview of Aptha Rakshaka in Chennai. Director P. Vasu has already confirmed that he is planning to remake Aptha Rakshaka in Tamil and the Superstar will be his first choice for the lead role. The director has reportedly even made sketches of Rajinikanth as Vettaiyan and Sameera Reddy as Chandramukhi and he has already approached Sameera for her dates.
