Bollywood has been making remakes of south films from a long time. As per reports, currently, there are at least 15-20 South Indian films which are in various stages of being remade in Hindi. It has been noticed that many of the last few south remakes have been outright rejected by the audiences. Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has spoken up about the same issue in the light of 'Jersey' starring actors Shahid Kapoor, Mrunal Thakur and Pankaj Kapur, not doing well at the box-office.
Varma has captured the public's attention with his thoughts on remakes. Taking to twitter, he shared, "The DISASTROUS fate of JERSEY film in Hindi signals the DEATH of REMAKES for the simple reason it has been proved multiple times that dubbed films like #Pushpa #RRR #KGF2 are doing far better than originals if the content is good #DeathOfRemakes (sic)."
Varma went on to add, "If Nani 바카라s original JERSEY from Telugu was dubbed and released it would have costed the producers just 10 lakhs whereas the remake in Hindi costed 100 cr resulting in losing enormous money,time, effort and face (sic)."
In his next tweet, he wrote, 바카라After the monstrous successes of dubbed films like #Pushpa , #RRR and #KGF2 , no south film with good content will be sold for remake rights as even both the content and regional stars are being liked by the Hindi audiences #DeathOfRemakes (sic).바카라
바카라Bollywood will be now getting ducked from both front and back as they neither seem to know how to make superhits nor can they hope to survive on remaking south films because nobody will sell them REMAKE rights #DeathOfRemakes (sic),바카라 further added Varma.
바카라Moral of the story is it바카라s smart to release dubbed films instead of remaking them because it바카라s obvious that the audiences are ok with any face or any subject from anywhere as long as it interests them #DeathOfRemakes (sic),바카라 he added next in his series of tweets.
Varma concluded his series of tweets with a tongue-in-cheek comment. "TELUGU and KANNADA films have INFECTED Hindi films like a COVID VIRUS..Hoping that BOLLYWOOD will soon come up with a VACCINE (sic)," concluded Varma.
South releases in the past few months, like 바카라Pushpa바카라, 바카라RRR바카라 and 바카라KGF: Chapter 2바카라, released for a Pan-India audience in varied Indian languages. They all managed to take the box-office by storm. In this year, the only few Hindi films that have done good business are 바카라The Kashmir Files바카라, which also didn바카라t have any big star, and 바카라Gangubai Kathiawadi바카라 headlined by actress Alia Bhatt.
Now, actor Ranveer Singh and director S Shankar have teamed up to remake 'Anniyan' (Tamil). The 'Great Indian Kitchen' (Malayalam), 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' (Telugu), 'Driving License' (Malayalam), 'Vikram Vedha' (Tamil), 'Soorarai Pottru' (Tamil), actress Samantha's 'U-Turn' ( Tamil, Telugu) and 'Ratsasan' (Tamil) are just a few of the south remakes that are currently under production in Hindi.
