Vettrimaran's Pollaadhavan starring Dhanush and Divya Spandana was a film that mixed commercial elements with realism very successfully. Based on Bicycle Thief, Pollaadhavan showed Dhanush at his very best, as an average boy with extraordinary dreams and the guts to achieve them.

Now, Varun Sandesh is all set to emulate Dhanush's act in a Telugu remake of Pollaadhavan. Neha Sharma, who had a sizzling debut opposite Ram Charan Teja in Chiruta, has signed up for her second film with this remake.

Gemini Kiran will be the producer and Sandeep Reddy is all set to wield the megaphone. According to insiders, Varun Sandesh might even develop a 6 pack for this film to convincingly present the image of a street-smart, lower-middle class unemployed youth.
