Kiara Advani on doing Hindi remakes of South Indian movies: ‘I will think twice before doing such a film’

Actor Kiara Advani is among the hottest selections for filmmakers right now. The actor, who has lately appeared in superhit Hindi movies like Lust Stories, Kabir Singh and Shershaah amongst others, has additionally accomplished a Telugu movie. While Kiara has been part of a remake earlier than, she now feels that she is going to assume twice earlier than doing remakes sooner or later, as a lot of the movies can be found on a number of streaming platforms for viewers to observe.

Asked whether or not we are going to see much less Hindi remakes of well-liked South titles given how nicely the dubbed variations of the originals are doing, the actor stated, “I don’t agree with the fact that Bollywood is backing on south for content. I feel like, sometimes, a small film which is like a gem, that is made in a certain language that has a potential to probably reach a wider audience, tends to be made in a language that (may not reach a pan Indian audience). Hindi is so widely spoken over our country, that you think, like, why not make this film for a larger audience?!”

While Kiara says she may need to rethink earlier than doing a direct remake of a movie, she is open to doing an adaption as an alternative.

She says, “I did Kabir Singh before OTT became a rage. Today, of course, I’d do Kabir Singh eyes closed, hands down, but today even I’d think twice to do a remake if it is available on an OTT platform, because I feel I can watch it. I watch a lot of films dubbed, a lot of films of other languages. But (I am okay to do it) if there is an adaption, where we’re taking the story, but making a few changes in the storyline (to make it more accessible to the audience who hasn’t watched it), because, at the end of the day, the point is to see how many people, who haven’t seen the film, and take it to a larger audience. I don’t think Bollywood is backing on that, I feel it is just about taking a good story to a larger audience.”

Kiara can be seen sharing display screen area with Kartik Aaryan and Tanu in Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which is slated to launch in theatres on May 20.
