At a time when Pokiri, Dhee, Ready, Kick, Vikramarkudu and many more
have had a spell on Bollywood, a Telugu film released in 1992 has inspired
it in an indirect way. The film is Gharana Mogudu, which was remade in
1994 as Ladla. In 2012, Rumi Jaffrey is directing a remake of this Anil
Kapoor-Sridevi starrer with Akshay Khanna and Mugdha Godse.
Shriya Saran is reprising Vani Vishwanath's role in the movie.
The original was written by Paruchuri Brothers (dialogues) and P Vasu (story).
The film was such a massive hit that it famously collected Rs. 10 cr. It is not known what elements of Ladla have made the makers of its new version
go for a remake. What is true is that if this film becomes a hit, it will set off a
trend of remaking yesteryear movies. Also, the inspiration could be extended to
Telugu films, because Ladla was inspired by Gharana Mogudu. Besides the films mentioned at the outset, Dookudu, Don Seenu and god knows
how many films, are in readied for remakes in Hindi. |
