Following the superhit result of the movie, it is being remade in Telugu with Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas and Anupama Parameswaran in lead roles.

Recently, there was a news making rounds in Telugu media portals, carrying a controversial statement quoted to be said by Amala Paul. The article had mentioned that Amala Paul had said Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas could not match the performance of Vishnu Vishal in the original.

The thin line between bullshit and gossip is invisible to your eyes!". Amala is currently acting in Aadai, Adho Andha Paravai Pola and many other movies.
