Mumbai: Actor Nushrat Bharucha will play the lead in Chhori, a Hindi remake of the 2017 Marathi horror film Lapachhapi. Vishal Furia, who directed the original, will helm the Hindi remake, too.
"I am extremely excited to be a part of Chhori. This genre excites me and the fact that the story is anchored in practices of our society, makes it relatable and impactful. I have wanted to work with Vishal Furia and I am glad we've finally collaborated on Chhori, which is close to his heart," said Nushrat.
Furia said: "When I first heard that (producer) Vikram Malhotra was considering a remake of my film, I was thrilled – simply because I believe there is a lot more I want to say with this story. Getting a chance to revisit the film has been an amazing experience. I want to take the remake a few steps further and make a much more impactful, scary and thrilling film - more so because I am grateful for all the love I still receive for Lapachhapi."
