House Full, Yet Another South Story?

Bollywood film maker Sajid Nadiadwala has a lot of interest in southern films. This producer-director re-made several Telugu and Tamil films into Hindu in his decades-long career. Though he made a few straight films in Hindi, they too have their roots in South and so, they appear they are remakes of South films. Sajid’s technique is to remake old South films and project them as straight Hindi films by giving them latest titles. One such film is House Full, which has become a super hit. He made two sequels for this film House Full and House Full-2; and now House Full-3 is getting ready for release. Interestingly, the storylines for the first two films in the series are of South Indian films. The first one – House Full – is a virtual remake of Telugu film “Navvandi Lavvandi” starring Kamal Haasan and Prabhu Deva. The second in the series – House Full-2, is also a remake of another Telugu film - Hangama, directed by S V Krishna Reddy, which was also a remake of a Malayalam film. Now, the third in Sajid series – House Full-3 is releasing soon and there is every reason to believe that it also must be a remake of another South Indian film. So watch out for its release to know which film Sajid has copied.
