The team of Tamil crime thriller "Metro", which has been unanimously raved by critics and audiences, will reunite for its Telugu remake, which is already on the cards.
"'Metro' producer Jaya Krishnan will produce the Telugu remake. Ananda Krishnan who directed the film will helm its remake too. Shirish, instead of playing the protagonist, will play the baddie," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
The source added that the makers are in talks with actor Naga Chaitanya to play the lead.
"Metro", which explores the psyche of modern-day criminals, portrayed chain snatching in great detail and realistically.
The film's Kannada remake rights were sold even before release.
