In last few years, there’s been an increasing trend that most of the successful South Indian films got remade into Hindi. Some Bollywood filmmakers even acquired the remake rights of movies which released some 10-15 years ago and modernized them to current day in Hindi.
Following same process, the Bollywood industry has set its eye on Raghava Lawrence’s super hit horror series ‘Kanchana’. With Superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead, Lawrence is planning a horror comedy which will be on the lines of ‘Kanchana’. So, which part will he chose to remake in Hindi!? Interestingly, the dance master turned filmmaker is designing a script by clubbing the two parts of Kanchana series.
Much before Kanchana (2011), Lawrence came up with Muni but the film ended up as mediocre. Whereas, the sequel (Muni-2: Kanchana) rocked box-office with huge collections in both Telugu and Tamil. Later, the film was remade in Kannada and it was a blockbuster there also.
The following film in the series, Ganga (2011), also was a blockbuster. So, now, the former dance master is blending Muni and Kanchana to make his Hindi debut with Akshay Kumar. He is likely to grab the major highlights from both the parts and cater it in one film.
Also on other hand, Akshay Kumar who’s been away from comedy genres from a while is keen to work on this horror+comedy entertainer. Raghava Lawrence is expected to begin the Hindi film after releasing his ongoing film ‘Kanchana-3’ on April 18.
