Bollywood star Ranveer Singh and director S. Shankar have joined forces for the Hindi-language remake of the 2005 Tamil blockbuster Anniyan. Shankar took to his Twitter handle on Wednesday, April 14, to announce the news and wrote "In this moment, no one will be happier than me, bringing back the larger than life cinematic experience with Ranveer Singh in the official adaptation of cult blockbuster Anniyan". While some of the fans were amazed by the Anniyan Remake cast, many people were also disappointed by the news given their love for the original film starring Vikram.

Twitter reaction to Anniyan remake cast and film

Fans were disappointed by the remake of the iconic 2005 movie Anniyan which starred Vikram and Sadha. One of them wrote "Anniyan remake? God, why? Please let the great movies be! Not everything needs to be remade! Ugh! Chiyaan is chiyaan. Enough said". While the other wrote Anniyan was already dubbed in Hindi as Aparachit and it was not a wise decision to remake it since Aparachit was a huge hit among North India circuits.

One of them wrote Aparichit was a hit in Hindi as well. The film has also been aired on TV countless times and everyone must have watched it. The user wrote that why cannot a talented filmmaker like Shankar make some original films. Referring to director Shankar's all remakes in recent years, 2.0, Indian 2, RC15, Mudhalvan 2, and now Anninya Remake, one of the user wrote "Is this indicating Shankar has no more contents in his garage and just playing around until he reaches the retirement age?".
