Milan Luthria is working on a remake of Telugu hit RX 100, which will also mark the debut of Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan Shetty in the film industry. The filmmaker says it will not be a “typical candy floss romance”, but an edgy version of the modern day love story.
“I am very excited to make this film. It is something different for me and that is what I have always looked out for. Just about when people tried to put me in a box and say that I make a particular kind of movies, I always like doing something else,” Luthria told IANS over the phone from Mumbai.
“They have called me a women’s director, an underworld director, a two hero filmmaker. It is good to change. I keep changing. Anything news is exciting for me. It gets my adrenaline flowing and then of course ‘RX 100‘ is a very interesting film,” he added.

The Telugu version of RX 100, a drama film, stars Kartikeya Gummakonda and Payal Rajput in the lead. The film is described as a raw love story with an interesting twist. It is being bankrolled by Sajid Nadiadwala.
“It is a kind of film you watch once and you want to watch again. It has a very haunting quality to it, which stays with you. The reason to do a film is that you have good people to work with, you have a good story to tell. Sajid is amongst the finest producers in the country today.
“Ahan is a wonderful young man, very much from our business and very well brought up.”
Luthria feels it is “not a typical candy floss romance”. “And that is one thing which attracted me to it. We keep saying that we need to try and make different films, but when we say different it doesn’t have to be something which is absurd. It just has to be different from what is happening in the movies.”
