HT News

Pawan Kalyan starrer “Vakeel Saab” is the Telugu remake of Amitabh Bachchan starrer Bollywood movie “Pink”. But the director Sriram Venu has made enough changes in the script according to Pawan Kalyan who has a massive outreach. Also, he has chosen Shruti Hassan for an important role.

Story

Three women – Vemula Pallavi (Nivetha Thomas), Zareena (Anjali) and Divya (Ananya Nagalla) – meet Vamshi (Vamsi) and his friends at a resort. There they sexually assault the girls.

“Vakil Saab” has many things in common with Pink but the Telugu remake is more centric to Pawan Kalyan. The movie starts with a very positive note but looks tilting towards Pawan Kalyan.
