We had earlier reported about Prithviraj’s 2017 horror flick ‘Ezra’ getting remade in Hindi with Emraan Hashmi in the lead. Titled ‘Dybbuk’, the film is directed by Jay K, who helmed the original as well. As the film gears up for its premiere on Amazon Prime Video on October 29, the makers have released its trailer online.

Emraan Hashmi is reprising Prithviraj’s character and Priya Anand’s female lead role from the original is done by Nikita Dutta. The couple are on a vacation when Nikita’s character Mahi brings home an antique Jewish box. After they both encounter paranormal experiences, they learn that the box is a dybbuk containing an evil spirit. The couple then seeks the help of a rabbi to unravel its mystery. Will they survive the ordeal before their child is born is what the film is about.

‘Dynbbuk’ is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Kumar Mangat Pathak and Abhishek Pathak under the banners of T-Series and Panorama Studios.

‘Ezra’ was a big commercial hit during the time of its release. It was noted for being the first attempt in making a proper horror flick in Malayalam rather than the usual horror comedies. Going by the trailer, the Hindi version also looks promising.

Martin Prakkat’s ‘Nayattu’ is among the films shortlisted for India’s official entry to the Oscar Awards.

Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe censored with U/A certificate

Rajinikanth’s upcoming film ‘Annaatthe’ has been censored with a U/A certificate. As is evident from the teaser, the film has a lot of violent action sequences, which is probably why the Censor Board refused to cleat it with a clean U certificate.

With the censoring done, ‘Annaatthe’ is now confirmed for Deepavali release. Simbu’s ‘Maanaadu’, the Arya-Vishal starrer ‘Enemy’ and Arun Vijay’s long-delayed ‘Vaa Deal’ are also part of the Deepavali race.

‘Annaatthe’ directed by Siva promises to be a family-oriented mass entertainer. Expectations are high on the film as Rajinikanth is doing a rural-based film after a long gap. Siva’s last film ‘Viswasam’ was also a huge success, which further enhances the hype.

‘Annaatthe’ boasts of a huge star cast comprising of actors like Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Meena, Khushbu, Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, Soori and Sathish. Vetri is the DOP and Ruben does the edits. D Imman is handling the music department.

‘Annaatthe’ is eyeing a grand release on November 4, 2021.

Article 15 Tamil remake starring Udhayanidhi Stalin titled as Nenjukku Needhi

We had earlier reported about the hit Hindi film ‘Article 15’ getting remade in Tamil with Udhayanidhi Stalin as the lead. The film has been titled as ‘Nenjukku Needhi’. An intriguing motion poster has also been released by the makers.

Bollywood-based producer Boney Kapoor had bagged the Tamil remake rights of ‘Article 15’. ‘Kanaa’ fame Arunraja Kamaraj is directing the remake version. The film has Udhayanidhi playing a cop’s role for the first time in his career. Tanya Ravichandran plays the female lead.

‘Article 15’ directed by Anubhav Sinha is a highly acclaimed film. It is about the Article 15 of the Indian Constitution, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth. The film has Ayushmann playing a city-bred police officer who investigates the missing of three teenage girls from a village. It slowly turns into his fight against the caste system after he realized that caste-based discrimination and other crimes are dismissed in rural India. It will be interesting to see how the makers adapt this in a Tamil setting.

‘Nenjukku Needhi’ is produced by Romeo Pictures and presented by Boney Kapoor’s Bay View Projects LLP in association with Zee Studios.

The Hindi remake of hit Tamil film ‘Vikram Vedha’ has been launched. Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan are playing the lead roles in the film. It is directed by Pushkar-Gayathri, who helmed the original as well. Neeraj Pandey’s Friday Filmworks is producing the remake in association with Reliance Entertainment and Y Not Studios.

‘Vikram Vedha’, which got released in 2017, is an action-packed thriller starring Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi as the leads. While Madhavan played a honest police officer’s role, Vijay Sethupathi essayed the part of a grey-shaded gangster. Apart from emerging as a big hit at the box office, the film was also found critical appreciation.

In the Hindi version, Hrithik plays the gangster’s role and Saif will be seen as the cop. The makers must have tweaked the script for the remake to suit the sensiblities of the Hindi audience.
