Server Sundaram’s Telugu, Hindi remake rights sell like hot pancakes!
Sources say that Linga Bhairavi creations has bought the remake rights of the film in both Telugu and Hindi
Director Anand Balki’s Server Sundaram, which has the same title as that of a classic in which legendary actor Nagesh played the lead, seems to be garnering quite a bit of attention across film industries.
If sources are to be believed, the Telugu and the Hindi remake rights of the film, in which Santhanam plays the lead along with Vaibhavi Shandilya, have already been acquired.
Sources say that Linga Bhairavi creations has bought the remake rights of the film in both Telugu and Hindi.
It may be recalled that the new Server Sundaram is being directed by Anand Balki, a debutant. The fact that the remake rights of a debutant’s film have been bought even before the film’s release gives an indication of the trade’s expectation from the film.
While the Nagesh-starrer was about a server going on to become a star in the film industry, the new Server Sundaram has a completely different plot.
Director Anand Balki, while speaking about his film, had said, “I am a hotel management student with interest in films. So, my whole film is going to be on food. To be more precise, it is about an aspiring engineer turning out to be a chef.”
Anand has already disclosed that the film will start from a catering college.
“People think that those in the hotel industry have it easy. They do not know that there are occasions when people there work even for 36-48 hours at a stretch. There are many things about the hotel industry that I will disclose through this film in a humourous manner,” Anand had said.
One other factor about this film that was talked about much was that the makers appointed as many as 15 chefs on their consultation board for this film, probably something that no other Tamil film unit has ever done before.
Talking about the Telugu and Hindi remake rights of the film being notched up by Linga Bhairavi creations, Kenanya Films J Selvakumar said, “Server Sundaram has got the potential to win hearts across the country. The content is such. Food and fun go together in this film. We are confident of a huge release that could position Santhanam as a big commercial hero.”
