The romance drama will be recreating the nostalgic charm that was woven by the original South Indian film which hit the theatres in the year 2018. 

 

Speaking about the official announcement of the film, producer Ajay Kapoor said, “(Vijay Sethupathi’s film) 96 was a heartwarming, light-hearted romantic tale that received humongous love from the audience. The story breaks the barriers beyond the bounds of language and region, which prompted me to remake the film in Hindi for the national audience.”

 

Penned and helmed by C Premkumar, 96 depicts a tale of two high school sweethearts from the batch of the year 1996, who meet a reunion, over 22 years after they parted ways. Sethupathi can be seen as Ramachandran Krishnamoorthy aka Ram, while Trisha played Janaki Devi Sugumar aka Janu.
