Akkineni Nagarjuna and Karthi starrer ‘Oopiri’ was once considered a risky project as Audiences don’t encourage such novel subjects.

But, much to the surprise of makers, the film became a solid grosser in both Telugu and Tamil languages. Now, the heart touching film is set to be remade in Hindi. Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is in talks to act in the remake.

If he gets convinced with the idea, he will reprise the role played by Nagarjuna. If Big B says yes, the film will get huge mileage as the megastar has the capacity of playing any role with ease.

Top filmmaker, Karan Johar has acquired the Hindi remake rights of ‘Oopiri’ and he is negotiating with Big B to act in the film. For the role of Karthi, young hero Varun Dhawan is said to be in talks.

Nagarjuna Akkineni and Karthi starrer drama film ‘Oopiri’, which has opened to phenomenal reviews, is set to be remade in Bollywood.

Karan Johar, one of the leading Bollywood producers, the man who released Baahubali in Bollywood, has reportedly purchased the remake rights of Oopiri and is gearing up to make the film to cater to The North audiences. It may be noted that ‘Oopiri’ is the remake of French hit film ‘The Intouchables.’

When quizzed Nagarjuna if he would act in the Hindi version as well, Nag quipped that it would be the decision of Karan Johar but not his. He added that he got immense satisfaction after playing the role in Oopiri and is looking forward to more challenging roles like this one.

Directed by Vamsi Paidipally, Oopiri is produced by PVP Cinema and also stars Tamannah Bhatia.
