Ram Gopal Varma has tweeted his opinion on the fate of movies remade in Hindi for audiences in the North. He believes it’s more beneficial to dub a movie in Hindi rather than have it remade with Bollywood stars in the lead. RGV believes that recent Telugu and Kannada releases such as RRR and KGF Chapter 2 deserve more attention.
Ram Gopal Varma took to Twitter on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the film KGF 2. The film released last week but could not make an impact at the box office. It starred Shahid Kapoor in the lead as a cricketer hoping for a second chance in life.
Jersey, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, was made in Telugu and starred Nani in the lead. The remake in Hindi costed 100 cr while original Telugu version cost just 10 lakhs. “If Nani ‘s original JERSEY from Telugu was dubbed and released it would have costed the producers just 10 lakhs,” says RGV.
RGV says it’s smart to release dubbed films instead of remaking them because audiences are ok with any face or subject from anywhere as long as it interests them. “No south film with good content will be sold for remake rights as even both both the content and regional stars are being liked by the Hindi audiences”.
