9 Upcoming Bollywood Films That Are South Indian Remakes

Bollywood is on a remake spree yet again. The industry is churning out remakes of almost all the superhit South Indian films. However, remakes don't necessarily become a hit in B-town. Akshay Kumar's Selfiee, which is the Hindi version of Prithviraj's superhit Malayalam film Driving License, failed to pull the audience to theatres. Ajay Devgn's Bholaa too failed to strike a chord. However, despite the results, it still looks like Bollywood is in remake mode. A slew of Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam films are ready for revamp.

Kisi Ki Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan - Veeram (Tamil)

Salman's upcoming release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan is a remake of the superhit Tamil film Veeram, which starred Ajith in the lead. The plot revolves around an elder brother who lives with his brothers and hates the idea of marriage as he feels that his wife might create disharmony among them. His brothers try to set him up with a girl similar to his childhood crush and the rest is a fulfilled joy ride. Veeram was also remade in Telugu as Katamarayudu (2017), and in Kannada as Odeya.

Master (Tamil)

Once again Salman Khan is likely to star in the Hindi remake of Master. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who helmed the megaphone for the Tamil version with Vijay and Vijay Sethupati in lead, is likely to direct the Hindi version too.
