This concept can be completely adapted to the Spanish culture. So, we’ve started working on it now, and we’re going to start shooting next June. It has a Spanish director and a top Spanish cast.”
Rodrigo Espinel was asked why he thinks so DrishyamThe remake will work for Spanish audiences. He explained, “In the end, it is the story of a father who tries to protect his daughter, and the story of a mother who tries to find out where her son is, so it becomes easier to adapt. I think as a producer, if you try to adapt a very local film, it is difficult. Even if we adapt the story, the soul of the film gets lost. In this case, even though it is a very Indian film, it is easier to adapt it and It’s easy to connect with our audience.”
