South Remakes in Bollywood in 2021:

We hope that Bollywood will stick to the original film’s soul and script and not over dramatise the Hindi versions. The reach of Bollywood films is more as compared to South films so the Hindi version needs to be handled more seriously. These days, there is more to south films other than just slow-motion action scenes and loud drama. We hope, Bollywood too will understand this and will make these remakes accordingly.
