Vijay Deverakonda is currently the star of the Telugu cinema and his stardom cannot be even. The actor is the boy of every girl's dream and even Janhvi Kapoor wants to share the screen space with him. Arjun Reddy starring Deverakonda was a massive hit and its success prompted makers to have its Hindi remake, Kabir Singh. And considering the stupendous business of Shahid's new release, any filmmaker would put his hand on a promising South project. So Karan Johar producing the Hindi remake of Dear Comrade was no brainer. Karan Johar Announces a Remake of Vijay Deverakonda’s Dear Comrade Even before the Movie Has Released.

Dharma Productions buying the remake rights of Dear Comrade was big news and soon the speculations about who may star in it started doing the rounds. In fact, the filmmaker had even approached Deverakonda to mark his Hindi debut with this remake. No, we aren't kidding when we say that Karan wanted Vijay to reprise his role but the actor denied it politely.

In his recent interaction with Anupama Chopra for Film Companion when Vijay was asked to reveal details of this Hindi remake, he said, "Dear Comrade will be made in Hindi. I won’t be doing it but yeah, that’s why I was here (in Mumbai). I didn’t want to become a Hindi film hero. I wanted to become an actor and I wanted to tell stories. I see no point in telling the same story twice. I spend so much energy on doing a film that I can’t redo the entire emotion and beats. I can’t put myself through that again. It’s not exciting for me because I know the scenes and everything, it’s exciting no longer.” Well, there goes your chance of seeing him shine in Bollywood but hopefully, he'll give his nod to some other script. Comrade Anthem Teaser: Vijay Deverakonda is Joined by Tamil and Malayalam Stars Vijay Sethupati and Dulquer Salmaan to Croon This Powerful Track for Dear Comrade (Watch Video).

Earlier when Vijay was asked if he had seen Shahid Kapoor's performance in Kabir Singh, he denied it saying the project has no novelty factor for him. He has already essayed the same character in Arjun Reddy and there's nothing new or exciting for him in its remake. So yeah, the search for an actor to star in Dear Comrade's Hindi remake is still on and we wonder who will come on board for it.
