Producer Karan Johar will be remaking Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film ‘O Kadhal Kanmani’ in Hindi. The film will feature ‘Aashiqui 2’ stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead.
“Honoured to collaborate with Mani Ratnam on the recreation of his labour of love.. directed by Shaad Ali” Karan Johar tweeted.
“Mani Ratnam.. Gulzar saab.. A.R. Rahman.. Shaad and us present Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in the official recreation of #okkanmani” he added.
The remake will be directed by Shaad Ali, who has previously remade Ratnam’s ‘Alaipayuthey’ in Hindi as ‘Saathiya’ starring Vivek Oberoi and Rani Mukerji.
The film will have music by A.R. Rahman, who had also worked on the original and will feature lyrics by Gulzar.
The Tamil film, which released earlier this year, featured Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen in the lead.
do some original movies bollywood…..
Sounds interesting
Any movie starring Shraddha is worth a watch- love that girl…!
Super waiting for this film Aaditya , Shradha perfect pair & A R Raheman music will rock .
Aditya and Shraddha chemstry was natural.. hope it will be awesome coz Karan Johar recent films were crap
Superflop..
Dharma Productions again poor line-up of films-
Kapoor N sons (flop).
Adhm (disaster..)
and this will bite dust too … But the best thing will be that it won’t be a typical ghisa-pita crap flop rom-com like Kapoor N sons, ADHM ,etc
Awesome guy Aditya Roy kapur.
He can challenge youngistaan’s hit actors like varun,Ranbir,Ranbir,sidharth…..!
This is a great news for Youngistaan. The Cult Blockbuster pair of Aashiqiui2 is back
Not interested in Remakes…Audience wants fresh/original scripts..
And I have a question,why bollywood copy tamil or hollywood?
O Kanmani was a nice film as I have heard and Adi-Shraddha pair have many admirers,it should do well.
@vivek why south copied aashiqui2 into a crap version. Band baaja baraat a Wednesday dabangg were also remade.
and finally ur raknikanths breakthrough film was Remake of Big Bs DON…!!!
HAHAHA
I from kerala… I watched o kadal kanmani in Tamil language it is outstanding Rom com movie….. mammuetty son dulquar is better than Aditya Roy kapoor that role…. Also A.R Rahman music is the turning point of the movie…..
waiting for Hindi part….

It’s a unbelievable movie, thanks to kjo for dubbing this masterpiece, otherwise bollywood movie goers would have missed such a wonderful movie.. I have watched it’s Tamil version it’s an unbelievable movie
Shraddha kapoor all films are good and worth watching.
Looking interesting

I think audiences love Shakti Kapoor more than your greedy gobbar mate coz CrimeMaster GoGo is well loved today n still a more popular character than any role joker boy has done in his pathetic career…!
karan is gud by heart .. dirty at brain
need to get out of his obsession for double meaning.. dirty talking n all time gay jokes.
Thanks to salman who brought this trend of remaking south movies
Salman is to be blamed for the lack of originality in Bollywood
Shradha looks beautyful
O Kadhal Kanmani was a awsome work of Mani Ratnam
I’m sad the fate of the Hindi version will be like saathiya and yuva both movies faild to get the attention of original Tamil movie
Wish them the best will see what will happen..
those with negative comments – would you prefer SRK acting opposite Shradda
