The Akkineni actor, Naga Chaitanya, is going through a rough patch with a series of flops. His previous films Shailaja Reddy Alludu, Savyasachi, and Yudham Sharanam has disappointed the fans big time. Going by the latest set of rumors, Naga Chaitanya has agreed to feature in the remake of a Hindi film ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’, a romantic comedy featuring Ayushmann Khurana, Raj Kumar Rao, and Kriti Sanon.
The 2017-movie was directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and written by Dangal filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari. The film has opened to great reviews and did a decent box-office business for that year. Also, the original version bagged several awards and got nominated for multiple categories. For those unfamiliar with Bareilly Ki Barfi, its story is about a young girl who leaves her house to escape the marriage planned by her parents. She then catches a train and finds a book ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ on a platform. Later, she decides to meet that writer of that book. What happens after her meeting with a writer is the main story of the film.
Renowned writer and producer Kona Venkat will be bankrolling this remake project in Telugu. While Naga Chaitanya was reportedly roped in one of the lead roles, the makers are yet to finalize on other lead actors. If they follow the original film’s story structure, the Akkineni actor is more likely to reprise Ayushmann Khurana’s role. However, an official announcement about this project is yet to be made.
In the meanwhile, Chaitanya will come up ‘Majili’ which stars his wife Samantha as the leading lady.
