After Drishyam Ajay Devgn in Talks for Hindi Remake of Mohanlal Hit Thudarum
The massive success of Mohanlal’s Thudarum has set off a wave of interest in the remake market, with Bollywood eyeing the film for a Hindi adaptation. According to director Tharun Moorthy, filmmakers from both the Telugu and Hindi industries have already initiated conversations about acquiring the remake rights — and Ajay Devgn is reportedly one of the leading names being approached to headline the project.
Released in April 2025, Thudarum quickly became one of Malayalam cinema’s biggest blockbusters of the year, praised for its realistic treatment, heartfelt narrative, and powerful performances. Its universal appeal has made it a prime candidate for a cross-industry remake, especially in Bollywood, where content-driven Malayalam films have found promising ground. – After Drishyam Ajay Devgn in Talks for Hindi Remake of Mohanlal Hit Thudarum
Ajay Devgn’s past remakes of Mohanlal’s films further strengthen this pitch. His Hindi adaptation of Drishyam delivered strong recall value, and its sequel Drishyam 2 turned into a massive blockbuster, reaffirming Devgn’s ability to carry emotionally rich thrillers. With his last two sequels receiving lukewarm responses, the actor is said to be seeking a solid, story-heavy project — making Thudarum a potential comeback vehicle.
However, director Tharun Moorthy remains cautious. He recently admitted that he is hesitant to jump into remake discussions due to his packed schedule and concern about preserving the original’s emotional essence. Thudarum’s charm lies deeply rooted in its cultural authenticity and subtle emotional beats — elements that would need careful adaptation to suit a wider Hindi-speaking audience without diluting the soul of the narrative. – After Drishyam Ajay Devgn in Talks for Hindi Remake of Mohanlal Hit Thudarum
While some fans on social media have expressed displeasure at the idea of a Bollywood remake, others believe that with the right treatment, Ajay Devgn could successfully bring the story to a national audience. If the project moves ahead with sensitivity and strong writing, the Hindi version could serve as a compelling blend of Malayalam cinema’s realism and Bollywood’s mass reach.
For now, the remake remains in the discussion stage — but if finalized, it might become one of the most anticipated Hindi projects to emerge from Malayalam cinema’s growing influence.
