Manisha Koirala to essay the role of Kartik Aaryan’s mother in hindi adaptation of Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo
The Hindi adaptation of Telugu blockbuster hit Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo is ready to go on the floors. Ekta Kapoor and Rohit Dhawan will come together for the first time for this film. The film will star Kartik Aaryan in the lead and from what we hear Kartik will reunite with his Luka Chuppi co-star Kriti Sanon for the same.
A trade source informed Bollywood Hungama, “Kriti has been finalised to essay Pooja Hegde’s part from the original. But the makers were dilly dallying about whom to approach to play Kartik’s mother in the film. Initially, the team wanted to retain Tabu in the remake as well but since she and Kartik have already done a film together (Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2), they wanted to look out for another actor.”
That’s when the makers chose Manisha Koirala. The source shares, “Manisha will step into Tabu’s shoes from the original for the remake. She will be playing the role of Kartik’s mother in the film. The team has also locked her modalities and the film is expected to roll on the floors this year itself. Ala Vaikunthapuramaloo will be eyeing a festive release date in 2022.”
On the professional front, Kartik Aaryan missed out on Dostana 2 due to his ongoing controversy with Karan Johar. However, the actor has several big-ticket films in his kitty, including Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Om Raut’s next, Dhamaka and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety 2.
