After tasting success with Singam, which was a remake of a popular Tamil hit, Ajay Devgn has acquired the remake rights of Mani Ratnam's Gharshana from VG Entertainments, which owned the rights. The film will be directed by Rohit Shetty, who directed Singam.
This is yet another addition to the long and unending list of South Indian films being borrowed by Bollywood. It is not surprising, given that recent remakes like Bodyguard have clocked exciting tallies at the box office.
There is a growing craze for the South Indian scripts with even superstars like Salman and Aamir evincing interest in these films.
However, Ajay Devgn's interest in Gharshana is something different. Unlike the aforementioned movies, this movie was released decades ago. Thus, it will be interesting to see how the writers will redesign it to make it look modern. In the past, when P Vasu selected a 1990s Malayalam film, no body was sure as to what he was up to. When Chandramukhi released in 2005 and scorched the box office, it made history.
