Latest fashion in Kollywood – Remaking Hindi films

Move over Malayalam remakes. It's now time for Tamil movies to be made inspired by numerous Hindi films.

'Guru En Aalu' starring Madhavan is the remake of Shahrukh Khan's 'Yes Boss', while Ajith's under-production venture 'Aegan' is an adaptation of the Hindi hit 'Main Hoon Na'. Efforts are now on to do the Tamil remake of the Hindi blockbuster 'Jab We Met' which featured Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles.

The recently released 'Poi Solla Porom', directed by Vijay and produced by UTV and Four Frames, is a xerox copy of the Bollywood comedy caper 'Khosla Ka Ghosla'.

Fresh reports indicate that P Vasu is planning to do the Tamil version of 'Baazigar'.

Say industry men, 'with corporates from Mumbai stepping in to do Tamil movies, it is obvious that several Hindi films are being remade in Tamil. Moreover, after Bollywood, Tamil Cinema has huge global audiences. Therefore it is obvious that we are opting for the remake of Hindi hits'.
