The Tollywood is on a remake spree. Megastar is adamant on remaking the Malayalam blockbuster 'Lucifer'. On the other side it is young hero Nithiin remaking the cult Hindi thriller 'Andhadhun'.
Now the big question doing rounds in Tollywood is how did flop directors Sujith and Merlapaka Gandhi got to remake these films respectively? The answer is obvious, they went with their stories and the heroes booked them for their choices.
It is a usual thing in Movie Industry that only hit directors have demand and others have to listen to hero's choice of film. Directors also succumb to hero's choice as they do not wish to tarnish their relationship with heroes.
Moreover, these directors hope that if they work better on remakes they would be offered films further in their production houses or with them.It is said that these directors say that audiences are not interested in remakes as they already watch on OTT platforms and expect a bigger changes and content in the remake too which is hard to match the original film! But directors are respecting the chance given and working to get back on track with these films.
Sometimes we have to forego the situations to keep going say these directors! Remember the case of Surender Reddy who directed a remake 'Thani Oruvan' as 'Dhruva' and later directed Megastar's 'Sye Raa'.
