Priyadarsan was one of the first directors to see potential in remaking Malayalam comedies into Hindi.
First he remade all his Malayalam comedy movies into Hindi, and then he pinched story ideas from others! Later when he was caught flicking other Malayalam director’s films without obtaining remake rights (Mannar Mathai case),
he started paying for rights and using scenes from them in his Hindi films.
Now the latest we hear is that Priyadarshan has purchased the remake rights of one of the most successful films of the year Ashique Abu’s Salt and Pepper.
Next year when he is able to get a big Bollywood artist date, he will kickstart the film.
