'Oh Baby' preview: Will this first Indian remake of 'Miss Granny' manage to wow the audience?

Nandini Reddy’s Telugu remake of the Korean hit ‘Miss Granny’, titled ‘Oh Baby’ and starring Samantha and Lakshmi in lead roles hit screens this Friday. This is the first Indian remake of the Korean film which is releasing in Telugu and Tamil both.


The film which sees music by Mickey J Meyer also stars Naga Shaurya, Rajendra Prasad, Rao Ramesh and more in key roles. ‘Oh Baby’ charts the journey of a 70-year-old Savitri (Lakshmi), lovingly called Baby, who loses her husband (Adivi Sesh) early in life and is left to fend for her only son (Rao Ramesh) alone. But in the process, she loses the best time of her youth without ever having done anything other women her age have. When she gets the chance to be a 20-year-old again (Samantha), thanks to a mysterious man (Jagapathi Babu), how she grasps at life with both hands forms the crux of the tale.

I am sure the audience is going to feel happy after watching the film. Go watch it with family; it is a treat for them.” He added, addressing Samantha, “I am so happy and proud that you are part of this film. You make me proud with all the films you pick and I think Oh Baby stands at number one for me right now.” Addressing director Nandini he said, “Nandini, I love how you have presented Samantha in the film. She has this cute and energetic side to her that I see at home and I love and you have shown the same onscreen. You have done a great job. So happy that you made this film. More than success, it is a film to be proud of.”

During the event, producer Suresh Babu too stated that this is the first women-centric film his production house Suresh Productions has produced. ‘Oh Baby’ is seeing massive hype before its release with huge number of fans coming to meet Samantha wherever she’s conducting publicity and even a huge cut-out of her being put at single-screen theatres like Devi 70MM at RTC X Roads.
