National Award-Winning Telugu Film Baby Set for Hindi Remake
The 2023 National Award-winning Telugu film Baby is all set to be remade in Hindi. Sai Razesh, who directed the original version, will also helm the Hindi adaptation. While the official lead cast is yet to be announced, reports suggest that Babil Khan, son of the late Irrfan Khan, was initially part of the project but opted out due to creative differences.
Baby struck a strong chord with Gen Z audiences upon release. Given the massive success of youth-centric films like Saiyaara in North India, industry watchers believe Baby could resonate just as well with Hindi audiences. The film, which blends a triangular love story with bold and controversial sequences, sparked heated debates on Telugu social media but still emerged as a box office blockbuster.
Speaking at the SIIMA red carpet, director Sai Razesh said that while a section of Twitter (now X) users criticized the film’s themes, the larger audience embraced it wholeheartedly. He also revealed that the Hindi version will feature a few modifications to enhance its appeal, but assured that the controversial sequences remain untouched.
With its mix of romance, youthful drama, and social-media-fueled discussions, the Hindi remake of Baby is expected to generate as much buzz as the original.
