Priyadarshan, Ajay Devgn to team up for Oppam remake

After a four-year break, filmmaker Priyadarshan is all set to return to Hindi cinema with a remake of his 2016 Malayalam hit, Oppam. Ajay Devgn will be taking over the role of a blind liftman, who strikes up a friendship with a retired judge.

Says Priyan, “I am not allowed to talk about it right now, but I look forward to working with Ajay again. The two films that I did with him in the past — Aakrosh  and Tezz — were disasters. I was in a terrible state of mind while making them. But we got along really well. And I owe him a big success.”

The thriller is set to be produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures . Viacom have earlier worked with Ajay in the remake of another Malayalam film Drishyam, which featured  Mohanlal.
