Mumbai, July 10, 2021: In recent times, Bollywood has been focussing on remakes of South Indian films and has also been successful in doing that. One such film which is currently the talk of the town is Vijay Sethupathi and Madhavan starrer, 2017's Tamil movie 'Vikram Vedha'. ## As per the earlier reports, Mr. Perfectnist, Aamir Khan was on board to star in the remake along with Saif Ali Khan, however, It was recently revealed that Aamir Khan is no longer a part of the Vikram Vedha remake and soon after, it was confirmed that Saif Ali Khan will, however, continue to be a part of the film. ## Now, as per the latest development, Hrithik Roshan is on board to star in the gangster drama and has signed the movie. According to a report in a leading entertainment portal, Hrithik was already in talks for the film even before the makers reached out to Aamir. Now, after a few months of talk, the Macho Man has agreed on doing the film. ## Also Read: Not One Or Two But Bollywood Gears Up For More Than 20 Remakes In Next Two-Three Years## The original movie starred R. Madhavan as righteous police officer Vikram while Vijay Sethupathi played the gangster Vedha. In the Hindi remake, Hrithik will play the gangster while Saif essays the cop. The film draws from the ancient lore of Vikram-Betaal, where a wily gangster manages to escape every time a determined cop nabs him, by narrating a new story drawn from his own life.## Before moving on to Vikram Vedha, Hrithik will complete shooting for his digital debut, Night Manager for Disney+ Hotstar in which he will be seen in a stylish avatar. ## The 'Vikram Vedha' will be directed by Pushkar – Gayatri (a husband-wife duo), who helmed the original film too.

Filmmaker Santhosh Kodenkeri To Direct The Biopic Of 'Bridgeman of India' Girish Bhardwaj

Filmmaker Santhosh Kodenkeri is all set to capture the life of Padma Shri Awardee, Girish Bhardwaj, who is often referred to as 'Sethu Bandhu' and 'Bridgeman of India' for building around 139 bridges in remote villages across the country.## Titled "The Bridgeman", the biography will be released in Kannada and Hindi languages. The project is a departure for Kodenkeri, who directed the Kannada horror thriller "Home Stay" in 2016. The director feels it is challenging to make a biographical drama because if a filmmaker shows a person's life as it is, then it may look like a documentary film.## "It's like a parallel film. It's in a similar space as 'Saand Ki Aankh' or 'Manjhi: The Mountain Man', so the style of filmmaking will be to portray a true character and subject in a cinematic way. It is a bit challenging. If we show his story as it is, then it may look like a documentary, so we have to add some ingredients and we have to show a couple of issues he faced during his journey", Kodenkeri told IANS.## Santhosh Kodenkeri further said that he and his team have taken the official permission from Bhardwaj and he is happy that his real-life will be shown to people who are unaware of it. The filmmaker also revealed the casting is underway as the movie requires a lot of actors. He will soon make an official announcement. The cast and crew will be shooting in five different locations of Kerala and Hyderabad.## Talking about the release of the film, the filmmaker added, "We are planning to release the film in 2021 but it depends on the geographical aspect as well because we want to show the monsoon period and heavy water flows in rivers. Either we have to do it against a green mat with VFX or we have to shoot the film at real locations. So, we are also working on the production design of the film". ## Stay tuned...

Bollywood Has Liberty To Make Films For A Particular Audience: Samantha Akkineni

Telugu star Samantha Akkineni who will be foraying into the digital medium with the second season of the hit series, The Family Man, feels Bollywood has the liberty to make films for a particular kind of audience, which is not the case in the South.## "Bollywood has the liberty to make films for a particular kind of audience. They don't have to appeal to every single person but in the South, we have to make sure that we are catering to every single person in the theatre", Samantha said while talking about the north-south bilingual divide of Indian cinema.## "It becomes very restrictive but now with OTT, it's a lot bolder and we're able to take more risks and hence the films that are coming out now are very global", added the actress. ## Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who stars in The Family Man, also opened up about the industry, saying, "I'm a huge fan of the South Indian film industry. All of us should make it a habit to go and explore these new cinematic worlds and learn from them. The storytelling, the performance, and their approach are completely different from how we do it".## The stars opened up about the industry in an upcoming episode of "Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films". The show will air on Zee Cafe in India.## Stay tuned...
