Priyadarsan was one of the
first directors to see
potential in remaking
Malayalam comedies into Hindi. First he remade all his
Malayalam comedy movies into
Hindi, and then he pinched
story ideas from others! Later when he was caught
flicking other Malayalam
director’s films without
obtaining remake rights
(Mannar Mathai case), he
started paying for rights and using scenes from them in his
Hindi films. Now the latest we hear is
that Priyadarshan has
purchased the remake rights
of one of the most successful
films of the year Ashique
Abu’s Salt and Pepper. Next year when he is able to
get a big Bollywood artist
date, he will kickstart the
film.
