On the 17th of November 2015, we had reported that Mani Ratnam’s urban love film Oh Kadhal Kanmani will be remade in Hindi, starring Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles and directed by Shaad Ali, the director who remade Mani’s Alaipayuthey in Hindi.
The technical team that worked in the original version, AR Rahman for music and PC Sreeram for the camera, is likely to be retained. Now, the latest addition to the team is Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions which will be co-funding this venture alongside Mani Ratnam’s Madras Talkies.
Karan took to Twitter to share the same,
“Honored to collaborate with Mani Ratnam on the recreation of his labour of love... directed by Shaad Ali... @DharmaMovies. Mani Ratnam... Gulzar saab... AR Rahman... Shaad and us present ADITYA ROY KAPUR and SHRADDHA KAPOOR in the official recreation of #okkanmani”.
A great addition to an already strong team! Stay tuned for more updates.
