Every now and then, criticism arises against the Kannada film industry for the sheer number of projects that are remakes of movies from other languages. It is, then, a moment of pride when a reversal of sorts happens and a Kannada film piques the interest of makers in other industries. The latest, we hear, is that the team of
Suresh Arts’ film, Raju Kannada Medium, is currently in talks with representatives from none other than Bollywood actor
Aamir Khan’s production house for a Hindi version of the movie.
“We are currently in talks with the team for the remake rights for a Hindi version. A representative from Aamir’s team saw the film over the weekend and they have expressed interest in acquiring the rights. While we are working out the nitty-gritties, the question remains whether Aamir will play
Gurunandan’s character, Raju, or
Sudeep’s role, which is pivotal to the narrative,” says producer KA Suresh.
