As per a recent report by Telugu360, the makers of Thalapathy Vijay starrer have bought the remake rights of Bhagavanth Kesari to use a particular scene from the film.

The Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer depicts a scene of “Good Touch, Bad Touch” in the movie, which will be adapted in Jana Nayagan. According to the report, Vijay had watched the film and loved it so much that he insisted it be included in Jana Nayagan.

Apparently, the remake rights for the single scene were bought by the makers of Jana Nayagan for Rs 4.5 crores. For those unclear, the original scene from Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer included him and Sreeleela.

The 2023 film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, was an action drama featuring the story of an ex-cop who serves as the father-figure and guardian to Vijayalakshmi and wishes her to become a soldier like her father wished.

However, both of their paths cross with a business magnate who has a vendetta of his own. The rest of the film focuses on how the man defeats the latter and whether Vijayalakshmi fulfills her late father’s dream.

The film, directed by H Vinoth, has Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol as co-leads with an ensemble cast that includes Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju, and many more.
