Remaking any film asks for highest ability of understanding the mise-en-scene that worked in the original. It also demands for the maker to have highest level of knowledge in how much to change and how to reproduce on screen the same emotion without spoiling it.

Only few directors were successful in doing so and Kishore Kumar Pardasani appears to have taken over the mantle from the yesteryear remake specialists like Ravi Raja Pinisetty and Muthyala Subaiah.

If you observe his previous three releases, Thadaka, Gopala Gopala, including Katamarayudu, all have been remakes and the director refutes any criticism over his choices. 

With a characteristic smile, he puts forth a convincing argument that even a remake, needs to be approached as a new film and asserts that the challenges in successfully recapturing the essence of original would be more difficult than making a original subject.

By saying that, he reassures that he won't end up being a remake director and jogs the memory back to his debut film, Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam, starring Siddharth and Tamannah as leads. 

Literally, a novice in terms of popularity and stamping an authoritative stamp like other bog directors, Dolly gladly presents the changes he came up with all the films. He feels that he has more freedom while remaking film and brings to our notice, the changes like addition of  Rao Ramesh character and love scenes in the first hour.

The director currently, basking in the opening weekend glory of Katamarayudu at box office, wants to work with Pawan Kalyan again for the third time and this time, he wants to direct his own story.

Why? The director with a wide grin explains that no one can be satisfied by working with the actor once as he comes across as very knowledgeable and shares many interesting aspects about highly philosophical topics.
