Update on Samantha-Sharwanand's film

The remake of '96 in Telugu is confirmed and definitely, it is going to have some changes. This is not what we say, but the news about the changes in the story as per the Telugu nativity are doing rounds all over.

While the remake will also be directed by Prem Kumar, who directed the Tamil version too and will have Sharwanand and Samantha in the lead roles. The latest news is that there is going to be a major change in the plot. So the change in the story here is that Samantha and Sharwanand are going to be college mates, in the batch and for academic year 2009 and they will meet in a reunion in 2019. So the span which was for 22 years in Tamil film will be cut down to 10 years in the Telugu remake. This means there is going to be title change too.

In the original version, the screenplay keeps going back and forth to the present and the past. In fact the flashback and their childhood episodes, especially the ones in school are what which triggers to the love in between them. So every minute thing that happens in an amateurish is clearly shown in these episodes. So this means, most of the school scenes are going to be lifted up in the Telugu version. But looks like majority of these things are going to be cut in the Telugu remake.
