2018 release Andhadhun is undoubtedly one of the best thrillers made in Bollywood. Starring Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu, and Radhika Apte, the Sriram Raghavan directorial was loved by critics and the audiences.


The movie is being remade in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, and today, the release date of the Telugu remake has been announced. The movie stars Nithiin, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Nabha Natesh.

Tamannaah took to Twitter to make an announcement about release date. She tweeted, “YouthGlowing star @actor_nithiin is all set to Amaze you with his Never Before Avatar Smiling face with sunglasses #Nithiin30 to have Grand Release WW on June 11th 2021 Musical keyboard @SreshthMovies #ProdNo6Collision symbol @tamannaahspeaks @NabhaNatesh @MerlapakaG #SudhakarReddy #NikithaReddy #RajKumarAkella @mahathi_sagar @MukhiSree.”

Nithiin will be stepping into the shoes of Ayushmann for the Telugu remake, Tamannaah will play the character portrayed by Tabu, and Nabha Natesh will be seen portraying the character played by Radhika.

Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the Telugu remake is yet to be titled.

The Tamil remake, which is titled Andhagan, stars Prashanth and Simran, and the Malayalam remake titled Bhramam stars Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role.

Andhadhun had won many awards including three National Awards, Best Hindi Film, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor. Now, let’s wait and watch what response the South remakes will get.

Politics of grooming gangs

Sir Keir Starmer was never keen on an inquiry specifically on Pakistani grooming gangs. The prime minister wants to be protective of the wider Pakistani community in the UK. The last thing he wants is an Islamophobic report which states that for cultural and religious reasons, Muslim Pakistan men have been targeting vulnerable white children and young women. But this is precisely the conclusion that some of the survivors and other groups want.

The Labour leadership was already in trouble with some Pakistani voters who felt it was not sufficiently critical of Israel’s military approach in the Gaza war. Starmer would not want to alienate them further with a report that picks out only Pakistanis when it comes to sexual abuse. It would be preferable to have a report that acknowledges that while there has been an historic problem with Pakistani grooming gangs in places such as Rotherham and Rochdale, white men are involved, too, in bigger numbers across the UK as a whole.
