Since its announcement, the Hindi remake of the hit Tamil psychological action thriller movie ‘Anniyan’ has been creating waves.
Starring Ranveer Singh in the lead, the remake will be directed by S. Shankar, who helmed the original as well.
Last month, the remake landed into legal trouble after the producer of the Tamil version, Aascar Ravichandran, decided to move to Madras High Court against Shankar & Jayantilal Gada (producer of the remake).
Earlier, Ravichandran had also sent a legal notice to the director, wherein he had claimed that he is the sole owner of Anniyan’s story rights as its producer and can’t make a remake of the film ‘without his consent’.
Now, during a recent interview with Pinkvilla, the producer has revealed that he is soon going to produce a remake of the same film in Hindi and English.
He has also claimed that his version will feature one Bollywood star as well as an international star.
Talking about it, he said, “Yes, on a grand scale. There will be one Bollywood and one International artist, and it will be remade in Hindi and English (respectively). Once everything is settled, I will make the announcement. But everybody is thinking I have asked for money, I have never asked for money. It is my property. Somebody is misguiding Mr. Gada Ji (Hindi remake producer Jayantilal Gada). Before December the big announcement will be made, that’s why I kept quiet.”
