The Megastar spoke about him doing back-to-back remakes. He said, “I did ‘Bholaa Shankar’ because I liked it and in the hope that you [the audience] will also like it. What I don’t understand is that many are asking me why I have been doing remakes. If there’s strong content and directors and actors are taking the opportunity to bring it to the Telugu people, what is so wrong in doing so? After the advent of the OTT platform, people are exposed to films of different genres. Hence, people ask about the need for doing a remake in the world of OTT. However, ‘Vedalam’ is not available on any OTT platform. That gave us the confidence to do the film. ”

The actor’s last film Godfather was also a remake of the Malayalam film Lucifer. Now, Bholaa Shankar is the remake of the blockbuster Tamil film Vedalam starring Ajith Kumar. Directed by Bholaa Shankar, the film also stars Tamannaah Bhatia as the female lead.
