Srikanth and Nikesha to team up for a Hindi remake

Teri Meherbaniyan was a 1985, Hindi film produced by Bollywood filmmaker KC Bokadia that featured Jackie Shroff and Poonam Dhillon, along with a dog, in prominent roles. Now, after 32 years, Bokadia is all set to direct its sequel, but this time around, in Tamil and Telugu. And starring in the lead is Srikanth, and Nikesha Patel.

On this film, Srikanth says, "Yes, I am doing this film and I am very happy to be in it. We've already started shooting the bilingual. While Bokadia sir has already filmed for 20 days I've shot for seven. We shot some portions in Chennai, Hyderabad and Jaipur. Nikesha and I play a couple in this murder mystery”.

Like in the original, the sequel will also have a four-legged animal playing an integral character. Nikesha furthers, "The makers have brought in German Shepherds from London and Delhi for the film. The story is not a continuation of Teri Meherbaniyan, it's a fresh script. The highlight of the yet to be titled film will be my equation with Srikanth. Bokadia sir's films are known for their romantic scenes. In this one, Srikanth and I share a quirky chemistry, there's romance and humour in equal dose."
