Kiara Advani

Kiara Advani’s super hit film Kabir Singh was a remake of Arjun Reddy which is a Telugu film directed by Sandeep Vanga. The original film featured Vijay Deverekonda and Shalini Pandey in the lead roles. The movie was massively loved by Tollywood fans too.

Later, director Sandeep Vanga remade his hit film in Hindi with actors Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani. The Hindi remake was also a box office hit, raking in huge numbers.

Ajay Devgn

Translating to ‘lion’, Singham is one for action lovers. Just like his Tamil counterpart Suriya, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn essayed the role of an honest police inspector in the remake. The film was later followed by Singham Returns and Simmba.

It's fourth installment, Sooryavanshi, is also set to release this year. Sooryavanshi was slated to release in March but has now been postponed owing to the current coronovirus situation.

The not-so-basic love story opened at the ninth Zimbabwe International Film Festival and also earned a National Film Award.
