Nearly six years after it struck a chord with audiences, Dear Comrade (2019) is set for a second innings —this time in Hindi. Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, which acquired the official Hindi remake rights soon after the Telugu film’s release, is now actively moving the project forward. Sources close to the development confirm that the studio is pushing the project ahead. According to insiders, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Pratibha Ranta are the frontrunners to headline the adaptation, though the casting is not yet locked.
