Will Jio Studios remake its Marathi blockbuster, Baipan Bhari Deva, in Hindi, as suggested by you?
– Jio Studios should remake BAIPAN BHARI DEVA not just in Hindi but in several other languages. This story has the potential to work wonders across languages. Remember the Gujarati super-hit, MAIHAR NI CHUNDADI? It was remade in several languages including in Marathi (as MAHERCHI SAADI) and in Rajasthani (BAI CHALI SASARIYE). It did roaring business in many of the languages. BAIPAN BHARI DEVA has the same magic in its subject.
How have today’s Hollywood releases, Oppenheimer and Barbie Doll, taken flying starts? I’m asking this question as many star-cast Bollywood films have been taking lukewarm initials these days.
– More than star names, it is promise of great content, which is selling nowadays. The craze for OPPENHEIMER and BARBIE DOLL had been growing in India since a fortnight. Believe it or not but tickets of Christopher Nolan’s OPPENHEIMER, priced at Rs. 2,500, in Bombay have sold like hotcakes. This means, if the public takes a fancy to a film, no admission rate is too high!!
Will Namit Malhotra be making one film on the Ramayan or will it be a series of films?
– Nobody can do justice to the epic Ramayan in one film. So, I’m sure, it will have to be a series of films.
