Priyadarshan's psychological thriller, 'Bhool Bhulaiya' was a remake of Malayalam film, 'Manichitrathazhu' that had Mohanlal as the lead. Later several Hindi films including 'Wanted', 'Singham' and 'Bodyguard' followed suit with 'Rowdy Rathore' being the latest one in the list.
"Remaking films is not happening for the first time. A lot of Hindi films are made in Malayalam, Tamil. If I do a very good film in Tamil, then only a portion of population will watch, if same thing is made in Hindi then it will be seen by the entire nation and even internationally," Mohanlal told PTI.
Ask him if the crux changes if you remake a film number of times, Mohanlal says, " With different actors, there are different ways of shooting a film but more or less the content is same. But sometimes the soul will be missing. It happens. And it is a question of how you make it. In the replica of a film there will sure be difference from the real one."
