"Venky sir will sport a twirled moustache in the film. He has already begun shooting for the film," the film's spokesperson told IANS.
Venkatesh will reprise the role of Ajay Devgn in the remake, while Ram Pothineni will step into the shoes of Abhishek Bachchan.
Vijaya Bhaskar, known for churning several blockbusters in Telugu, is helming the untitled remake. This is his third film with Venkatesh after back-to-back hits "Nuvvu Naaku Nachav" and "Malliswari".
Anjali has been roped in opposite Venkatesh, while Shazahn Padamsee will play Ram's love interest.
Jointly produced by D. Suresh Babu and Sravanthi Ravi Kishore, the film will be shot in places such as Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune.
Meanwhile, Venkatesh is awaiting the release of Telugu action-thriller "Shadow".
