Nithiin and Rashmika Mandanna
teamed up for the romantic comedy entertainer
Bheeshma
directed by Venky Kudumula. The film did a good business around the Telugu speaking states, and the film’s success has truly exceeded expectations. Expectedly so, the remake rights of the film have been in demand from the
Hindi film industry.
And now, according to a source, Karan Johar’s home banner
Dharma Productions
has bagged the remake rights of the film, and will be rolling out the Hindi version very soon. Sources say Karan Johar was very impressed by Bheeshma’s storyline, and its win at the box office proves even better things for a Hindi remake. The
Bheeshma Hindi remake
will reportedly star
Ranbir Kapoor as the protagonist, and it would be interesting to see if the Sanju actor would star in the film.
While Ranbir Kapoor will play the lead, the rest of the cast and crew will be finalised soon. The team is yet to finalise a director as well. Karan Johar is currently producing Fighter with Vijay Deverakonda. Puri Jagannadh and Charmy Kaur are also part of the production. Helmed by Puri Jagannadh, the film features Bollywood actress Ananya Pandey as the female lead.
