Just like the Ayushmann Khurrana starrer Andhadhun and Kangana Ranaut’s Queen is being remade in South, Bollywood too has been borrowing from South Indian films.

Thadam’s Hindi version too is announced with Sidharth Malhotra, while Mohanlal’s Drishyam 2 Hindi remake rights have been bought by Kumar Mangat.
