Ranbir Kapoor Back At Work After Wedding
In fact, two major Hindi films are often released simultaneously. There are numerous such examples. ‘Lagaan’ and ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Dil’ and ‘Ghayal’, ‘Shivaay’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’, ‘Jab Tak Hain Jaan’ and ‘Son Of Sardaar’, ‘Dilwale’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, ‘Mohenjodaro’ and ‘Rustom’, and so on. .
But there were also times when a filmmaker himself decided not to compete with another film and change the release date of his film. The way Shah Rukh Khan did with his film, ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, which would have otherwise released in direct opposition to ‘Toilet Ek Prem Katha’.
Earlier, the trend was that a South filmmaker who produced a big hit in his regional language, would himself come to Mumbai and produce its Hindi version. That was why many South producers
MUMBAI: It’s been barely a few days after his much hyped wedding with ‘Dear Zindagi’ star Alia Bhatt, and Ranbir Kapoor is already back to work to fulfil his professional commitments.
The actor was recently spotted in the Andheri area of Mumbai where he was seen sporting a blue plaid shirt and beige pants.
Alia and Ranbir got married on April 14 after dating for almost five years. The love story, which started on the sets of the duo’s upcoming film ‘Brahmastra’ finally came to fruition as the two exchanged vows in an extremely private wedding ceremony in front of roughly 50 guests.
Incidentally, the first part of Ayan Mukerji’s ‘Brahmastra’ is all set to arrive in cinemas on September 9.
Post the wedding ceremony, Alia took to her Instagram to share the love and joy with her followers as she wrote in the caption, “Today, surrounded by our family and friends, at home in our favourite spot - the balcony we’ve spent the last 5 years of our relationship - we got married.”
“With so much already behind us, we can’t wait to build more memories together memories that are were active in the Hindi film industry.
Usually, they did not change much in the Hindi version; what had worked in the South was not worth tampering with. Except for the stars, music composer and lyric writer, little was changed.
So, why make films for South producers? Why not buy the remake rights and make it yourself? Hindi filmmakers, and the film stars, decided to do away with South technicians, including the director. A Hindi wiz kid director would polish it up while remaking the film.
The late producer, D, Rama Naidu narrated his experience once with assigning the Hindi remake of his own South film. He was advised to have the film rewritten by Javed Akhtar and directed by Rahul Rawail for the Hindi audience. The film not only went grossly over-budget, but also bombed at the box office. The film was ‘Jeevan Ek Sangharsh’.
Now, since most of the Hindi films are being made by Mumbai industry from South hits, the South producers have thought it wise to just release the original South films in dubbed versions.
Also, roday, the South Indian male stars are hip, trendy and smart and they are being accepted readily by the Hindi audience, as is being demonstrated on a regular basis.
What is more, even the lip sync in Hindi-dubbed versions is of high quality. Also, if a film is engrossing and entertaining enough, who wants to find fault with it?
How things have changed!
