Actor Fatima Sana Shaikh has been roped in to play the lead role in the the Hindi adaptation of 2017 Tamil blockbuster movie Aruvi , the producers announced on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Applause Entertainment has collaborated with Faith Films for the remake, which will be directed by E Niwas of Shool fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tamil-language original, directed by Arun Prabu Purushothaman, starred Aditi Balan, who was seen in the recently released anthology Kutty Story .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The story follows a girl born and brought up amidst the ever growing eco-social-consumeristic environment. She finds it difficult to fit in the society and decides to take it hard on the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shaikh, who was last seen in Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari , said she is thrilled to be part of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am glad Applause Entertainment and Faith Films have come together with E Niwas to make this great content and I am excited to embark on this journey. I am looking forward to dive deep into the skin of the character of Aruvi, Shaikh said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aruvi , which is a commentary on consumerism and misogyny, among other prevalent issues, saw Balan playing a progressive girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, said the team was drawn by the unconventional narrative of Aruvi and decided to retell the story for the larger audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equally funny and ferocious, Aruvi is a provocative, feminist social satire that stunned us when we first saw it. We were drawn in by its unconventional narrative, deftly balancing its black comedy leanings, with the beats of a tautly executed thriller, Nair said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Viki Rajani, founder, Faith Films, said there is a lot of pressure to match up to the level of the original, but he is confident that the team on board will be able to recreate the magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Niwas said he feels honoured to direct the Hindi version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
‘Aruvi’ is not just a story of a hero. It’s a triumph over the labyrinths of life. It’s totally euphoric and a privilege to explore one of the most beautiful cinematic characters I have come across. Fatima is a befitting choice, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Hindi adaptation is set to begin filming in mid-2021.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
