Hindi movie Badhaai Ho is all set to be remade in Kannada. The remake rights for the same has been acquired by Boney Kapoor. Interestingly though, the Kannada serial Brahmagantu apparently has the same plot.
Bengaluru: Ayushman Khurrana-starrer Badaahi Ho film will be made in Kannada. Sridevi's husband and Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor has obtained the rights for the remake of the movie in South Indian languages.
The movie will be made in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. No decision has been taken on the star cast or the technical crew of the movie.
Seems like Boney Kapoor has picked up on the trend of remaking movies in multiple languages. The trend that began when producer Manu Kumaran bought the rights for Hindi movie Queen to be remade in Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu.
The premise of Badhaai Ho revolves around the story of the protagonist's mother who becomes pregnant well past her prime. This embarrasses the son who is about to be married.
The plot would seem familiar to a Kannada audience as makers of the Kannada serial Brahmagantu used the same plot to increase the emotional quotient of the serial after the success of the film.
