In case you are an ardent cinephile who is a fan of the thriller genre, then you must have already seen the terrific Malayalam movie ‘Nayattu’, which was released in the year 2021. You might also be aware of the buzz that the critically acclaimed movie is apparently getting a Telugu remake, which has been titled ‘Kota Bommali PS’. The film, which is currently in the works, is being directed by Teja Marni and will feature Srikanth Meka, Rahul Vijay, Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, and Shivani Rajasekhar in the main roles. (Although there is no official word on ‘Kota Bommali PS’ being a remake of ‘Nayattu’ as of now.)
In this era of rampant remakes in the Indian film industry, is there any need to remake a modern classic and an apparently inimitable film like ‘Nayattu’ in another Indian language? Considering the fact that the parent Malayalam film ‘Nayattu’ is streaming on the Netflix OTT platform and has already been watched by a significant number of non-Malayalam movie audiences. The views received by the recently released motion poster of ‘Kota Bommali PS’ tells a different story.
As per the latest info, the motion poster of ‘Kota Bommali PS’ received a massive number of one million views on YouTube. This implies that the target audience for a film like ‘Kota Bommali PS’ is significant. This should be perceived as a positive signal for the makers and should give the stakeholders a lot of confidence with respect to the film’s potential.
The 2021 Malayalam movie ‘Nayattu’ was a political survival thriller movie which narrated the story of three police officers, who abscond together to a remote place, in order to evade arrest for a crime they apparently did not commit. Owing to the political and media pressure, the police department initiates a vigorous manhunt to track down the three police officers. It was directed by Martin Prakkat.
