Overview
- Earlier reports, citing unnamed sources, said Dharma Productions is pushing a Hindi remake of the 2019 Telugu film Dear Comrade, which starred Vijay Deverakonda and Rashmika Mandanna and whose Hindi rights were acquired years ago.
- Siddhant Chaturvedi posted that the casting reports are untrue and stated he will not do remakes for now, adding praise for the original film and its actors.
- Pratibha Ranta asked media and fans to stop circulating unverified claims and to wait for an official announcement regarding any casting.
- Dharma has not issued a formal announcement, so the project’s cast and production details remain unconfirmed.
- Sources quoted in the initial coverage said any Hindi version would retain the original’s emotional core while being reimagined for a pan-India audience rather than treated as a routine remake.
