Everyone has taken notice of this gutsy decision. Pari will soon have a Tamil remake! Quality horror stories work in this market and the producers here have loved Pari. The offer on the table is a big one too and only adds to the revenue of Pari. An announcement is expected to happen as soon as the deal is locked. It is a huge success for Anushka,” an industry source revealed the information.

As for the casting and other details for the Tamil remake, nothing has been finalised yet.
