Arre but Y are they even making remake of that movie. That movie was hit 11 years back.If it was made now it will not be hit even though I am Anushka's fan. Allu Aravind is idiot.

That was one funny movie

Anushka S was awesome, majestic in the movie ⭐️ And so was Sonu Sood.. he was good.. 😊 but why remake it after 11 yrs? 😕

If remade in BW, I’m sure it will flop..

After 11 years 🤣 the Hindi audience has already seen the dubbed movie on Hindi channels it will bomb miserably

Can't BW make some original movies?
