The woes of 'Dear Comrade' are not going to end any time soon. The movie became a huge flop and put Vijay Deverakonda in a tricky position.
Buying hype around Vijay Deverakonda, Karan Johar bought the remake rights of “Dear Comrade” even before the release by paying whopping Rs 6 Cr.
Karan thought this film would become another sensation like “Arjun Reddy” and its Bollywood remake “Kabir Singh” did.
Karan is said to be sulking over buying the remake rights of “Dear Comrade”. Adding to his woes, even Shahid Kapoor has rejected the offer from Karan Johar.
Karan Johar recently approached Shahid Kapoor to essay the male lead in the Hindi remake of “Dear Comrade” but Shahid is not interested to do another Deverakonda remake.
Although Shahid got the biggest hit in his career with the remake of “Arjun Reddy”, the Deverakonda starrer he feels that it would be repeating the same thing.
Insiders say Karan Johar is now thinking of rewriting the entire story for Bollywood and change the story as female-centric.
