The trend of remaking South hits into Hindi blockbusters, has caught on fast and wide with Bollywood filmmakers. While movies are Jersey and Anniyan are remade in Hindi and awaiting release, another film has joined the bandwagon. The Malayalam film Irul starring Fahadh Faasil, Soubin Shahir and Darshana Rajendran is all set to be made for the Hindi audiences. Talented actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui has been approached by the makers to essay the lead role. 


Although the talks with Nawazuddin are still in the nascent stage, things will hopefully materialise soon. The work on the Hindi script has reportedly already begun in full swing. Irul is directed by Naseef who has assisted in Bollywood films like Happy New Year, Raees, Newton and Tumbbad. It released in April 2021. Meanwhile Siddiqui will soon be seen in Jogira Sara Ra Ra opposite Neha Sharma and later in the supernatural thriller Adbhut starring Diana Penty.
