Kushi Kapoor to star in Uppena remake in Hindi

If there’s one recent movie that truly resonated with audiences, it’s undoubtedly ‘Uppena.’ This emotional love story, marking the debut of Vaisshnav Tej and Krithi Shetty in Tollywood, has struck a chord and emerged as a massive hit. The film’s success can be attributed to its super hit songs and Buchi Babu Sana’s compelling narration, which together propelled it to blockbuster status.

Bollywood has been closely observing the success of South Indian cinema, with several remakes like ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Jersey’ achieving blockbuster status in Hindi. For a while, rumors have been circulating about Bollywood filmmakers and actors expressing interest in remaking ‘Uppena.’ Initially, there were reports of Varun Dhawan showing interest, followed by speculations about Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Pandey being cast in the remake. However, recent reports suggest that Kushi Kapoor, Sridevi’s younger daughter and Janhvi Kapoor’s sister, is set to star in the ‘Uppena’ remake.

Buchi Babu Sana’s film “Uppena” not only won the National Award for Best Telugu Film but also garnered critical acclaim. Despite critics describing it as a ‘freemake’ of several films, including “Sairat” (later remade in Hindi as “Dhadak,” starring Janhvi Kapoor), the film’s impact remains undeniable.

Boney Kapoor, the producer and father of Janhvi Kapoor, has expressed his admiration for “Uppena” and his long-standing desire to remake it in Hindi. He hopes to see his daughter Kushi Kapoor starring in the Hindi remake someday, believing it has the potential to be a Bollywood success story.

Kushi Kapoor, who recently made her acting debut in Netflix’s “The Archies” and has signed on for two Hindi films, could potentially lead the cast of the ‘Uppena’ remake. The audience eagerly awaits to see if this dream project comes to fruition and if Kushi Kapoor shines in her Bollywood debut. Now all eyes are on who will play the other important roles like the male lead and the all important father character in the remake.
