Abhishek Chaubey to do Hindi remake of Tamil movie Jigarthanda

Abhishek Chaubey, who established himself as a bold filmmaker with Ishqiya and Udta Punjab, but came a cropper with his last release – the Sushant Singh Rajput, Bhumi Pednekar and Manoj Bajpayee starrer Sonchiriya, is going ahead with films that are raw and hard-hitting and rooted in non-metro locals.

Post Sonchiriya, Chaubey finished a short film with Tumbbad fame Sohum Shah and Kriti Kulhari and is currently filming his first crime thriller web series Dus Assi for Junglee Pictures banner. Now, PeepingMoon.com has learned that the filmmaker has collaborated with Sajid Nadiadwala for his next directorial which marks his foray into commercial cinema.

“Chaubey has been signed to direct the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Jigarthanda for Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. It’s an out-and-out commercial entertainer and is going to be a different ballgame altogether for Chaubey,” our source revealed.

Good cinematography in this one. I love Chaubey, but I wish he did his own material.
