Arabiyum Ottakavum P Madhavan Nairum for a Hindi remake!

Bollywood is making it a habit of remaking movies from the South. Following in the footsteps of actors like Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn and John Abraham, Akshay Kumar is all set to produce and star in the Hindi remake of the super hit Malayalam movie Arabiyum Ottakavum P Madhavan Nairum, directed by Priyadarshan, who will direct the Hindi version as well.In a recent interview Priyadarshan confirmed the remake news. It seems Akshay came up with this idea while working on Prabhu Deva’s directorial venture Rowdy Rathore.
Earlier blockbuster movies like Bodyguard, Wanted and Singham were remade from Malayalam and Tamil movies. It would not be a surprise if this remake from Akshay sets new box office records. Coincidentally this is not the first time that Akshay and Priyadarshan are coming together for a remake. Some of Akshay’s hit comedies directed by Priyadarshan were remakes of Malayalam movies.
