Tamil Hit ‘Perusu’ to be remade in Hindi; remake rights acquired - Read more

The Tamil film 'Perusu', which received a warm reception from audiences, is now set for a Hindi remake. Released on March 14, the film was particularly well-received by multiplex audiences and garnered praise for its comedy sequences.

With its success, the remake rights for 'Perusu' have now been officially sold for a Hindi adaptation.

Hansal Mehta and Mukesh Chhabra acquire remake rights

According to Hindu Tamil, filmmaker Hansal Mehta and casting director-producer Mukesh Chhabra have jointly acquired the Hindi remake rights of 'Perusu'. However, details about the Hindi adaptation, including the director and lead cast, have not yet been revealed. The film’s impressive box office response and its appeal to urban audiences have contributed to its demand for a Bollywood version.

Profitable venture for the makers

Made on a modest budget, 'Perusu' proved to be a profitable venture even before its theatrical release, as the film’s OTT rights were sold in advance. With the added revenue from the Hindi remake deal, the film’s producers are reported to have made significant profits. This marks yet another example of a successful regional film crossing over into the Hindi market.

Cast and crew of the Tamil version

Directed by Ilango Ram, the original Tamil film 'Perusu' starred Vaibhav, Niharika, Sunil, and Karunakaran in key roles. With its engaging storytelling and humor, 'Perusu' has now set the stage for a promising Bollywood adaptation. Meanwhile, Netflix has acquired the post-theatrical OTT rights of 'Perusu', and the film is likely to stream soon on the digital platform in multiple languages. This move will further expand the film’s reach, allowing audiences beyond Tamil Nadu to experience its comedy and entertainment.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the official streaming date announcement.
