Megastar Chiranjeevi is one of the biggest actors in India. In recent years, he has done many remake films. Chiru remade Thalapathy Vijay's 'Kaththi' as 'Khaidhi No 150' a few years ago and is now awaiting the release of 'Bholaa Shankar,' the remake of Ajith Kumar's 'Vedalam'. The megastar is in talks for the remake of Mohanlal's super hit film 'Bro Daddy'.

There were a lot of talks on social media regarding Chiranjeevi's newfound love for remaking movies. The megastar answered why he chose to remake 'Vedalam' during a promotional event of Bholaa Shankar recently. Talking at the event, he said, "I did 'Bholaa Shankar' because I liked it and in the hope that you [the audience] will also like it. If there's strong content, directors and actors take the opportunity to bring it to the Telugu people."

"After the advent of the OTT platform, people are exposed to films of different genres. Hence, people ask about the need for a remake in the world of OTT. However, 'Vedalam' is not available on any OTT platform. That gave us the confidence to do the film," added the megastar. Bholaa Shankar, starring Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah and Keerthy Suresh, is coming to cinemas on August 11th.

 

I learned that Vedalam is not available on any OTT platform, which is why I decided to do this remake, #BholaaShankar.
