Over the past few years, we have seen several Hindi remakes which have been inspired by south Indian cinema. Another south remake is almost locked and ready to go on the floors. For the very first time, Ekta Kapoor and Rohit Dhawan will team up to bring to us the Hindi adaptation of ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramaloo.’ A few months back, it was reported that the film will star Kartik Aaryan in the lead role. As per the reports of Bollywood Hungama, the makers have approached Manisha Koirala to play Tabu’s character in this remake.

Manisha has always been known for her versatility and in the past, she has graced the big screen with some of her brilliant performances that are remembered even today. ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramaloo’ did really well at the box office and to fill in Tabu’s shoes, for this Hindi remake, the makers will definitely need a versatile actor.

There were also reports that initially, the team wanted Tabu to be a part of the Hindi remake but since she and Kartik are already a part of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2‘, they wanted someone else. The makers of this remake are looking to start the production this year itself. If Manisha gets roped in for this film, it will be wonderful to see her on-screen again after such a long time.
