The producer of Settai (the remake of Delhi Belly), Dhananjayan Govind has asked audiences not to compare the film with the original. The remake has Arya, Premgi, Santhanam, Hansika and Anjali in the lead. The film is almost complete and the producer maintains that the film is only adaptation and that it had not a scene-by-scene remake. Dhananjayan had earlier said that there were certain changes that he made in the film to make it more family-oriented.
Settai is expected to be an out-and-out comic caper. The original in Hindi had
Imran Khan,
Poorna Jagannathan,
Vir Das, Shehnaz Treasurywala and Kunaal Roy Kapur in the lead.
