Sankranthiki Vasthunam Hindi Remake: Is Akshay Kumar Locked In?
NEWS RATING
Rumors about a potential new Akshay Kumar film—the Hindi remake of the blockbuster Telugu hit Sankranthiki Vasthunam—have been dominating entertainment headlines. Reports suggested that the project would be produced by Dil Raju and directed by comedy maestro Anees Bazmee, with Kumar stepping into the role played by Venkatesh Daggubati.
However, a closer fact check reveals the current status of this widely circulated news.
 
The Viral Claim: What the Reports Suggested
Over the last few days, several reports claimed the following:
  1. The Project: An official Hindi remake of the 2025 Telugu action-comedy, Sankranthiki Vasthunam (starring Venkatesh, Aishwarya Rajesh, and Meenakshi Chaudhary).
  2. The Star: Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was finalized to play the lead role.
  3. The Director: Comedy expert Anees Bazmee (Welcome, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2) was signed to direct the remake.
  4. The Producer: Telugu producer Dil Raju, who produced the original, would bankroll the Hindi version.
The news spread rapidly, exciting fans who were eager to see Kumar and Bazmee—a successful pair behind hits like Singh Is Kinng—reunite for a comedy remake.
 
 
The Truth: What We Know Right Now (As of October 2025)
Despite the headlines stating the deal is finalized, our fact check reveals a crucial detail: No official announcement has been made by any of the parties involved—Akshay Kumar, Dil Raju, or Anees Bazmee.
Currently, the news remains in the speculation/report phase, heavily relying on unnamed "industry sources."
  • Akshay Kumar’s Status: While he is known for starring in South remakes (like the upcoming Soorarai Pottru adaptation), Kumar has made no statement confirming his involvement in the Sankranthiki Vasthunam remake. He is presently busy with Priyadarshan's Haiwaan and other commitments.
  • Anees Bazmee’s Status: The celebrated director has not officially signed the project. Although he has a track record of handling remakes successfully (e.g., Ready), his next confirmed venture is highly anticipated.
  • Dil Raju’s Intent: The producer of the original, Dil Raju, is confirmed to be interested in adapting the film for the Hindi audience, especially given the Telugu version's massive success (grossing over ₹250 crore). Raju's previous Hindi productions include Jersey and Hit: The First Case.
Verdict on the Claim:
The headline stating Akshay Kumar is NOT doing the film is currently Prematurely False/Misleading. While the news has not been confirmed (and therefore isn't a hard fact yet), the high volume of reports across credible portals suggests that discussions and negotiations are indeed taking place.
 
 
Why This Rumour Gained Traction (SEO & Relevance)
The Sankranthiki Vasthunam remake reports became an instant hit online due to the following synergy:
  • The Hit Factor: The Telugu original was one of the biggest box office successes of 2025.
  • The Remake Trend: Bollywood's reliance on successful South Indian remakes remains high.
  • The Akshay-Bazmee Magic: The combination of Akshay Kumar's comedy timing and Anees Bazmee's direction is a historically bankable formula.
Conclusion:
Until an official press release or social media announcement comes from Akshay Kumar, Dil Raju’s production house (Sri Venkateswara Creations), or Anees Bazmee, the news about the Sankranthiki Vasthunam remake remains a strong industry rumour. Fans should await official confirmation before celebrating the new project.
