Fahadh Faasil, the producer and one of the main actors of the hit Malayalam film C U Soon, has announced that the film will be remade for a theatrical release as soon as lockdown is over. The theatrical release will follow the same script with a few minor additions as compared to it’s OTT released counterpart.
C U Soon was made for a digital release says the actor-producer. He believes both formats are separate entities and content for both should be created with their releases in mind. This version of C U Soon was meant to be watched in the comfort of our homes; even if there was no pandemic going on, this film would have stayed the same.
The duo of writer-director Mahesh Narayanan and actor-producer Fahadh Faasil are all set for the shoot of the silver screen version. The minor tweaks needed for the script is complete and the shoot will take place on location in Dubai. The film, this time will show the characters talking on the phones, instead of seeing them talking through them. The difference in angle will broaden the canvas, adds Fahadh.
The actor also goes on to say that the film will be slightly longer, providing a lot more backstory like how the characters, portrayed by the actors Roshan Mathew and Darshana Rajendran, met and why is Fahadh Faasil’s character aggressive towards his girlfriend, etc. These small plot-gaps can be filled and this will broaden and amplify the storytelling for movie-goers who will watch the film in theaters.
