The Hindu
The original 2005 Tamil version, starring Vikram as a frustrated everyman developing multiple personality disorder to take on the system, was a massive blockbuster
Bollywood star Ranveer Singh and director S. Shankar are teaming for the Hindi-language remake of 2005 Tamil blockbuster Anniyan. Bringing them together is veteran film producer Dr. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios. The yet-untitled project has been announced around the auspicious time of Baisakhi in North India and Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, which marks the New Year celebrations in these respective calendars. The film is slated to go on the floors in mid-2022, and will be co-produced by God Bless Entertainment. The music of the film will be available on Saregama. Talking about the remake, director Shankar said, “For it to be made into a Hindi film, Anniyan needed a maverick, charismatic showman like no other to play the part. I found this in the mercurial Ranveer Singh, because he is a one-in-a-generation actor who has shown us that he can immortalise a character through his stellar performance.”More Related News
