Mahariyanews was the first to report that director Jio Baby's Sooraj Venjaramudu and Nimisha Sajayan starrer Malayalam hit, The Great Indian Kitchen, would be remade in Hindi. Several filmmakers were in the race to acquire the rights for its Hindi remake, and producers Harman Baweja and Vicky Bahri are finally backing the project. Now we have a new and exciting update on this much awaited remake. We have learned that the makers have roped in Angad Bedi to play the lead role in the Hindi version.
“Angad will be reprising the role played by Sooraj Venjaramudu in the original. Director Arti Kadav and the makers felt that Angad suits the part well, and the formalities were called off recently. The film is expected to start in May or June,” said a source close to the development. The Great Indian Kitchen released last year and received a lot of critical acclaim. It also won a few Kerala State Film Awards. Reportedly, actress Sanya Malhotra has been roped in to play the lead role. This will be the first time that Angad and Sanya will be working together.
Meanwhile, apart from The Great Indian Kitchen remake, Angad also has R Balki's Ghoomar in the pipeline and has already wrapped up the shooting of the first schedule of the film in Panchgani. A source had earlier told Mahariyanews that there is a beautiful romantic angle between the characters of Angad and Saiyami Kher in Ghoomar.
Angad was last seen in director Sharan Sharma's Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl with Janhvi Kapoor and Inside Edge Seasons 1 and 2.
