It is not anymore an undercover thing that Bollywood producers set out on a race every time a South film does massive numbers. The race is for the Hindi remake rights of the film. The latest film to exceed all expectations was Vijay Sethupathi and Thalapathy Vijay’s Master. The film is now being remade in Hindi by the Kabir Singh makers, but apparently, this time around the race was between Murad Khetani and Dharma head honcho Karan Johar. There is a significant number involved too. Read on to know all you should about this update of the day.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Master stars the two biggest of the South superstars against each other. The film that released amid the scares of the pandemic, made the audience forget that a health crisis lurks around. The film managed to earn around 35 crores on day one and set the foot for a good number. It was already given that it will attract filmmakers from different industries for remake rights.
Murad Khetani who is known for bringing South film remakes to Bollywood (Kabir Singh) has bought the rights for Master. As per a Bollywood Hungama report now, it was Karan Johar who was also in the bid. But Khetani was smart enough to offer more money and 2in it. A source close to the development said, “Karan Johar was also trying to get the rights to make Master in Hindi.
