No Lessons Learned - 8 Remakes Incoming
Before Shah Rukh Khan's big back-to-back 1000 crore flicks revitalized the industry, bollywood was almost at its lowest point. After a few more strong hits, the industry—which had looked like it would not revive anytime soon—began to flourish once more. It's odd, though, that bollywood directors haven't taken the lessons they've learned—about remakes or OTT.
Remakes, especially those in the telugu business, are being avoided by many people due to certain fatal blows they have witnessed, such as Chiranjeevi's "Bhola Shankar," among others. However, there are already eight remakes in the works in Bollywood. How many of these will have recurrent success in bollywood throughout the OTT-dominated age remains to be seen.
1. ‘Shaitaan,’ starring ajay devgn, R. Madhavan, and Jyotika – a remake of the Gujarati film ‘Vash.’
2. ‘Baby John,’ starring varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and wamiqa gabbi – a remake of Vijay’s ‘Theri.’
5. ‘Love Today’ (Tamil) remake
6. ‘Naandhi’ (Telugu) remake, starring ajay devgn
7. ‘Joseph’ (Malayalam) remake, starring sunny deol
