Marathi movie Sairat needs little introduction. The film,
which featured Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar in lead roles not only propelled
the debutants to overnight stardom, but also managed to break several records
at the box-office. So much so that reports claimed that it is set to be remade
in Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil.
Now, SpotboyE.com has it that Zee Studios (one of the
producers) is teaming up with White Hill Production (WHP), a leading production
house of Punjab, to remake the super hit film in Punjabi. WHP has produced
successful films such as Jatt & Juliet and Carry On Jatta among others.
Says a source, “Director Pankaj
Batra, who has helmed Naughty Jatts, Goreyan Nu
Dafa Karo and Dildariyan in
the past has been brought on board for the project. However, the cast is yet to
be finalised. The film will go on floors once everything is in place.”
Sairat, directed by Nagraj
Manjule, released on April 29, 2016. It was the first Marathi film to cross Rs
50 crore mark. Then it became the first Marathi film to gross over Rs 100 crore
worldwide. Sairat beautifully portrays the story of a young couple who is
targeted and oppressed because they belong to different castes.
