It’s already known that the Telugu blockbuster Arundhati, a landmark film in the horror-fantasy genre, is being remade in Hindi. Given the current trend and growing audience interest in supernatural thrillers, the decision seems timely. However, remaking a cult classic always comes with the challenge of living up to audience expectations and inevitable comparisons.
Earlier, Arundhati was remade in Bengali as a scene-to-scene adaptation, but the version was widely trolled by North Indian audiences, who compared it to the technical brilliance and grandeur of the original Telugu film. With a Hindi remake now in the works after so many years, such comparisons are bound to resurface.
The biggest challenge, however, rests on actress Sreeleela, who will be stepping into the shoes of Anushka Shetty — the role that catapulted Anushka to stardom. Matching her powerful screen presence and emotional intensity will be no easy task.
With a few recent setbacks and criticism over her inconsistent performances, Arundhati could be a make-or-break project for Sreeleela. For the remake to work, she will need to deliver an extraordinary performance, and the director must reimagine the story with a fresh cinematic vision rather than relying solely on nostalgia.
The film is being directed by Mohan Raja, known for helming Godfather starring Chiranjeevi — a film that didn’t quite impress at the box office. Whether he can recreate the eerie magic of Arundhati for a new generation remains to be seen.
