However, the makers have not made a formal announcement about the same. Director G Ashok who also helmed Bhagaamathie is directing Durgavati. Bhaagamathie is the story about a female IAS officer Chanchala Reddy who is imprisoned in a haunted house. Eventually, things take a drastic turn when she gets possessed by a spirit. The film was a big hit at the Telugu box office. Arshad Warsi will be seen playing a negative character. If the original movie is anything to go by, Arshad Warsi will be essaying the role played by actor Jayaram. In the film, Jayaram played the role of a shrewd politician who creates havoc in the life of the protagonist. Presented by Akshay Kumar (Cape of Good Films) and Bhushan Kumars T-Series, produced by Bhushan Kumar (T-Series) and Vikram Malhotra (Abundantia Entertainment), the crew has already started shoot for the scary-thriller.
