When it comes to the Hindi remakes of South films, the makers can go an extra mile. After all, such is the craze for these films. There is a high buzz around the remake of blockbuster Telugu film Arjun Reddy. After several names chosen for the lead star including Arjun Kapoor, the makers have apparently zeroed down to Shahid Kapoor. The film is now one of the most anticipated ones in B-town and the remake rights amount will leave you surprised! The makers have reportedly bought the rights for whopping Rs 7 crore as per the reports in Midday.
The tabloid quotes a source saying, “Several filmmakers were trying to bag the film's remake rights. Since it was a blockbuster, the project's adaptation is highly anticipated. Ashwin Varde and Murad Khetani shelled out a cool Rs 7 crore to the producer for the Hindi version.” For the uninitiated, the usual amount paid for remake rights is between Rs 2 crores to Rs 5 crores.
“Since Arjun Reddy was written keeping the Telugu audience's sensibilities in mind, Sandeep and the producers are currently working on the script to ensure it appeals to the Hindi cinegoer. They are keen to have a fresh pairing with Shahid. They are in advanced talks with three leading ladies. An announcement can be expected next month,” adds the source.
