Dil Raju Busy with the Remake of ‘Sankranthi Ki Vastunnaam’?

Victory Venkatesh, one of Tollywood’s most celebrated actors, joined hands with hit-machine director Anil Ravipudi for the highly successful film Sankranthi Ki Vastunnaam. The film, released during the festive Sankranthi season, turned out to be a massive box office hit, captivating audiences with its comedy and entertainment quotient. The film was designed as a full-fledged comedy entertainer, perfectly catering to the festive audience.

At the box office, Sankranthi Ki Vastunnaam shattered records, collecting over ₹300 crore worldwide. With its phenomenal success, the film brought significant profits to producers Dil Raju and Shirish, reaffirming their expertise in producing commercially successful entertainers. The film’s engaging storyline, Venkatesh’s impeccable comic timing, and Anil Ravipudi’s signature narrative style contributed to its widespread appeal.

Bollywood Remake in the Works

Following the film’s stupendous success, producer Dil Raju is now planning to remake it in Hindi. With his growing footprint in Bollywood, Dil Raju is making strategic moves to bring the essence of this Telugu blockbuster to the pan-Indian audience. The Hindi film industry has often found inspiration in successful South Indian films, and Sankranthi Ki Vastunnaam seems to be the latest addition to the list.

However, director Anil Ravipudi, who helmed the original, will not be directing the Hindi remake. Instead, he is gearing up for his next big project with Megastar Chiranjeevi. Given this, Dil Raju is looking for another director to take charge of the Bollywood adaptation. Reports suggest that the hunt for the right filmmaker is already underway, and an official announcement will be made soon.

Akshay Kumar to Lead the Hindi Remake?

The biggest highlight of this remake is the speculated casting of Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead role. Known for his versatility and strong presence in comedy films, Akshay is said to have given his nod to the project. His involvement is expected to bring a fresh dimension to the storyline while retaining the essence of the original.

While the director’s name is yet to be finalized, once the filmmaker is onboard, Dil Raju is expected to make an official announcement regarding the project. With Akshay Kumar likely to headline the film, expectations are high that the Hindi remake will be a grand spectacle.

Dil Raju’s Bollywood Aspirations

This is not the first time Dil Raju has ventured into Bollywood. He has been actively involved in remaking Telugu hits for the Hindi audience, ensuring that successful South Indian content reaches a wider audience. With Sankranthi Ki Vastunnaam delivering a massive hit in Telugu, its Hindi adaptation has the potential to repeat history at the Bollywood box office.

As more details unfold, fans of both Telugu and Hindi cinema eagerly await further updates regarding the cast, director, and production timeline of this much-anticipated remake. If all goes as planned, the Hindi remake could turn out to be yet another milestone in Dil Raju’s illustrious career as a producer.
