Malayalam movies are increasingly finding takers in other regional film industries. Joining the list of movies like Traffic, Drishyam and Bangalore Days is Nivin Pauly-starrer blockbuster movie Oru Vadakkan Selfie. We hear that the movie will be remade in five languages — Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada.
A source from the camp confirmed the news and said, “Yes, the makers from other industries have acquired the remake rights of Oru Vadakkan Selfie and it will be remade in six languages.
I can’t divulge other details apart from the fact that the remake will be a big budget one.”
The Malayalam film revolves around an engineering student Umesh, and his encounter with a pretty girl, Daisy, played by Manjima Mohan. Vineeth Sreenivasan scripted the film helmed by G. Prajith.
When quizzed whether the storyline will undergo any change, the source informed, “A few changes will be made to suit the sensibilities of the audience in each industry, but there wouldn’t be many alterations.” If all goes well, Oru Vadakkan Selfie will get the title of ‘the movie with the most number of remakes’, after the Mohanlal-starrer Drishyam.
