Tamil, Telugu remake of ‘A Wednesday‘ to release on 18 Sept
MUMBAI:UTV Motion Pictures and Raajkamal International is set to release the Tamil and Telugu versions of A Wednesday! worldwide on 18 September.
Christened Unnaipol Oruvam in Tamil and Eenadu in Telugu, both version have been directed by Chakravorthy Toleti.
Tamil (Unnaipol Oruvam) and Telugu (Eenadu) remake of A Wednesday will have a worldwide release on 18 September.
Kamal Hasaan has enacted the role of Naseeruddin Shah in both the films while Anupam Kher‘s role is played by Mohan Lal in the Tamil remake and Venkatesh in the Telugu one.
Said UTV Motion Pictures CEO Siddharth Roy Kapur, “The most original plots traditionally have travelled to Hindi cinema from South Indian cinema. This time however, there is a twist in the tale, with a Hindi movie being re-made in Tamil and Telugu. The South Indian audience is very discerning and we at UTV are confident that the Tamil and Telugu remakes of A Wednesday! will garner as much acclaim as their Hindi counterpart had. We are hopeful that this will start a trend in the reverse migration of original stories from Hindi cinema being remade for South audiences.”
The plot of the movie is the narrative of a common man who takes it upon himself to purge the society of terrorism. It is the story of certain events that unfolds between 6 am and 6.10 pm on a particular day – events which do not exist in any record but which deeply impact the lives of those involved.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
