It's raining South remakes in B-town and after the smashing success of Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh. Previously, Bollywood had experienced great box office successes with South remakes like Wanted, Siimmba, Baaghi 2 and many more.

If recent reports are to be believed, Karan Johar has bought the rights of Nani's Jersey and is planning a movie in Bollywood on the same.
