Fatima Sana Sheikh to star in the Hindi remake of Aruvi

The award-winning Tamil film ‘Aruvi’ is all set to be remade in Hindi. Fatima Sana Sheikh, best known for her role in ‘Dangal’, will be reprising the lead character played by Aditi Balan in the original. Directed by Arun Purushothaman, ‘Aruvi’ was a widely acclaimed film that went on to win numerous awards at the regional and international level.

The film portrays the events that occur in the life of a rebellious young woman who seeks to expose the consumerist and misogynistic nature of modern civilisation, while attempting to find meaning during a period of existential crisis. It is an unconventional film that has black comedy, satirical and thrilling elements in it.

Aditi Balan’s stellar performance in the titular role got her widespread appreciation. Fatima Sana Sheikh definitely has a big challenge ahead of her and her performance will be something exciting to look forward to. The Hindi version will be directed by National award winner E Niwas of ‘Shool’ fame and is bankrolled by Applause Entertainment and Faith Films.
