Shahid Kapoor, who last appeared in Deva, a remake of the Malayalam film Mumbai Police (2013), is all set to appear in another remake. Reportedly, Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter are all set to star in the Meiyazhagan Hindi remake.
Post-COVID, the remakes are being rejected by audiences. Because the audiences have been exposed to different languages’ content, they are keen to watch the original versions. Hindi movies that were remade from other languages, like CuttPutli (OTT Release), Vikram Vedha, Bhola, and the recent Deva, failed at the box office.
Meiyazhagan Hindi Remake: Shahid Kapoor and Ishan Khatter to Play the Leads
Still, Bollywood has not learned the lesson. Prem Kumar’s Meiyazhagan, starring Karthi and Arvind Swamy, received huge acclaim across the languages, though the film did not do great at the box office.
The latest reports from the Bollywood circles suggest that Shahid Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter are all set to star in the Meiyazhagan Hindi Remake, with Shahid playing the character of Arvind Swamy while Karthi’s part will be played by Ishan.
As of now, there is no official announcement on this, but it is expected to be out soon. We should wait and see if this remake news is true or not.
