Recently, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh shared the news of his collaboration with director S. Shankar for the Hindi-language remake of Tamil blockbuster Anniyan, on Instagram. As per a TOI report, Salman Khan is also being considered to play the lead in the remake of Vijay-starrer Master. While these projects are still in the announcement phase, there a few South films that are being remade in Bollywood in 2021. Check them out below.
The Telegu sports drama Jersey is being remade in Hindi starring Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapoor. Director Gowtham Tinnanuri who directed the original is helming the remake as well. The plot revolves around a talented but failed cricketer who returns to cricket in his late thirties for his son. The movie is aiming for Diwali release and will clash with Akshay Kumar's Prithviraj.
Unlike most movies on the list, Director Karthick Naren's Dhuruvangal Pathinaaru was a sleeper hit that eventually managed to impress viewers and critics alike. The Hindi remake titled Sanki will feature Varun Dhawan and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles. The movie will be backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, per TOI. Dhawan will be seen playing a cop in the movie with Naren leading the Bollywood remake as well.
The Telugu movie RX100 featured Payal Rajput and Kartikeya Gummakonda in the lead roles. The rough love story is about a young man, Shiva who is passionate about Indu, but when they get separated he turns into an extremely violent person. Director Milan Muthria is working on a Hindi remake of the movie titled Tadap starring debutant Ahan Shetty and Tara Sutaria. The movie is set to hit the screens on September 24, 2021.
In 2017, debutant filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj's Maanagaram received immense love from the viewers. Starring Sundeep Kishan, Regina Cassandra and Sri, it's is a city-based thriller that connects four youngsters from different walks of life. The Hindi remake titled Mumbaikar features Vikrant Massey, Sanjay Mishra and Ranvir Shorey. Revealing details bout the movie, producer Shibu Thameens told TOI, "The entire film will be shot at night. Almost the entire Mumbai will be covered. The characters in the Hindi version will be far more detailed than in the Tamil one. The Hindi remake is not going to look like the Tamil original. It will be a visual treat." Talking about Massey's character he added, "Vikrant will see as a young, angry man. He is a fantastic actor and we are looking forward to working with him."
The reports about the neo-noir action thriller Vikram Vedha getting a remake has been surfacing for a while now. However, finally, Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan have been locked for the film, per TOI. The original film featured Vijay Sethupathi and R Madhavan in the lead role and the plot revolved around Vikram, a policeman who is on a hunt to capture Vedha. However when Vedha voluntarily surrenders he tells a tale to Vikram that changes his notion about good and evil.
I went to San Francisco State University to study cinema. I grew up in California, but dropped out of college. Being on the sets of Baahubali for about 50 days was bigger film education for me than San Francisco.
I tend to favour plot-based films with rich characterisation. I love watching character-based dramas, but I'm not capable of writing them. So if I get an idea for something, I need to know in my head all the important scenes. Then, you almost always know how the film begins, where the film is halfway through and how it is supposed to end. Everything else becomes about making that journey interesting.
Even as a viewer, I probably prefer The Dark Knight to Joker, and find it a better film. It is probably my favourite film of all time. Both have the same character, but I find watching the Joker in the context of a Dark Knight much more interesting than to just watch the Joker in his apartment.
I think a lot of it came from my guru Abburi Ravigaru. He used to say that every dialogue in a film needs to have a value. But that doesn't mean every dialogue needs to be heavy. The moment you start thinking about the idea of Leo, you start thinking about what you can do with it. So I will not place the first dialogue where Leo is casually mentioned, without knowing that I'll use it in another place later. When simple words used in a casual context are brought back for an important scene, the value of those words goes up.
As an actor, I tend to not stick to the way the dialogue should be said. I stick to the content of the dialogue. For example, "Shwetha, nannu pelli chesukuntava?" and "Nannu pelli chesukuntava Shwetha?" are no different. While performing, we own the character and say what needs to be conveyed. But when we have a payoff for a few dialogues, you have to say them in a particular way.
It's always a process, you never fully know. You tell it to your family or some trusted filmmaker friends but you don't ever truly know. A good example is Goodachari. We originally wrote that the secret base of Trinetra was under a Rado showroom. But the Rado showroom people didn't agree to it. Omega already had a tie-up with the Bond franchise. One day, while driving, I saw the Tailorman showroom; they agreed. In fact, after the film was made, I got to know there's a movie called Kingsman that had a spy agency under a tailoring shop. In fact, this was one criticism of Goodachari. What nobody realises is that the idea of putting a spy agency underneath a conventional business is an homage to a Bond movie called From Russia With Love. We don't ever fully know if our decisions are going to be 100% correct. In the same context, there was something else that worked out. A producer mocked us for trying to make a 'James Bond kind of film' with a small budget. So we made Vennela Kishore say the dialogue "Bond antha budget ledu manaki" in a scene; it worked out very well. You win some, you lose some.
Evaru is an adaptation. Halfway through production, we found out that a Hindi version called Badla was being made with Amitabh Bachchan. I did not want to get into the unenviable position of being compared to Mr Bachchan. That's a losing battle. So, we turned an elegant English-speaking lawyer into a corrupt cop; that helped us. I'd like to give credit to Ramji (director of Evaru) for driving the adaptation. Evaru was quite a success for me, it was my highest grossing film. Yes, when you've gone so far to adapt a film and give it a soul of its own, you don't like to read a review with a disclaimer. That did throw me off. I assumed people knew the difference between adaptations and remakes.
No. One of my earliest childhood experiences was watching Baasha in Sri Venkateshwara theatre in Vizag. I felt some magic seeing Rajnikanth walking in a black-and-white frame with the background sound going "Baasha Baasha". I won't get that experience while watching it on a laptop with my headphones. I'm aware that the world has changed. It's extraordinarily difficult not just to make your way into the theatre; things are also more expensive and there is a lot more choice. I do realise that getting people to see your work is more important than the 'where' they saw it. At the end of the day, we are all storytellers sitting around the fire. So, you never say never. But my goal is for people to see it on the big screen.
That's something I don't have the answer to. What is The Godfather? It's just a bunch of people talking in a room. Does it have the theatricality for people to go and watch it in a theatre today? I don't know. The Irishman was a straight Netflix release. If we set aside the length concerns, I can safely say that it is a theatrical experience. Scale necessarily doesn't mean theatrical, because the best film I've ever seen is The Godfather and it doesn't have the kind of scale that an Avengers has.
I think it's extraordinarily difficult for any outsider to make it in the movie business. Whether it is Hollywood, Bollywood or in Telugu. There's no doubt that somebody whose family is in the movie business will be able to enter the movie business in a much simpler and concise way. But we have to understand that their skillset is also a lot more. If children grow up understanding the nuances of acting because they saw their parents who are great actors or producers or whatever, they end up learning so much more about how to be behind the camera, in front of it or how to negotiate the art of making a film much more than an outsider like me. A lot of people don't realise that nepotism is so fundamental to our Indian culture. In India, a doctor's son becomes a doctor, a farmer's son becomes a farmer. It's an unfortunate reality of our society. So, I think we need to place nepotism in a bigger context. We need to ask 'What does it mean for Indian society that everybody does what their parents did?'.
Not in Telugu. Here you need to have some other Astram (weapon). My astram is my writing. It's not lost on me that if I didn't know how to write a script, I wouldn't have had an acting career in Telugu. I don't think the Telugu industry has the concept of hundreds and thousands of boys and girls auditioning for landing a great role. But, that's also the way the audience thinks. I remember someone telling me once that during the CCL (Celebrity Cricket League) that whenever Akhil batted, the TRPs would go up. He hadn't even debuted in a film by then. The audience rewards only a known brand. If there is a son or a daughter of a great actor or actress, you hope that this person will also continue the brand of great acting and great cinema.
There's no doubt about it. Of course, we were all lucky to land these films. Kshanam and Pelli Choopulu released a few months apart. These two were the small films that changed that year. If you don't have the opportunity to say that I'm related to someone, you have to say that you're going to show them a film that they've never seen before. Either you continue the brand or you create a brand.
