Bollywood Hungama OTT India Fest: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari Wants to Remake Maid
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari Wants to Remake Maid |
Bollywood Hungama has launched the OTT India Fest in Mumbai, a two-day event celebrating the OTT entertainment sector. The fest features a diverse program of activities, such as panel discussions, fireside chats, masterclasses, workshops, and an awards ceremony honouring OTT talents.
The event's first day started with an informative panel discussion, where industry experts explored India's growing OTT landscape. During the discussion, filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari expressed the desire to remake the Netflix show, Maid.
For the unversed, Maid is a ten-episode series about a young woman who escapes an abusive relationship and struggles to provide for her young daughter. It's a powerful and moving story, and it's no surprise that Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari wants to remake it.
Now, I know what you're thinking: Bollywood remakes are notoriously bad. But I have faith in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari. She's a talented director, and I think she could make a great Bollywood version of Maid.
Here's what I'm imagining:
- The lead role would be played by a young, up-and-coming actress like Alia Bhatt or Deepika Padukone.
- The abusive boyfriend would be played by a Bollywood bad boy like Ranveer Singh or Shahid Kapoor.
- The supportive mother would be played by a veteran actress like Shabana Azmi or Jaya Bachchan.
And of course, the film would be full of catchy Bollywood songs and dances.
I think it could be a great film. And it would be a great way to showcase Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's talent to a wider audience.
But I also have to admit that I'm a little bit worried. Bollywood remakes have a history of being tone-deaf and insensitive. I'm just hoping that Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari doesn't fall into the same trap.
Maid is a serious and important story. It's not just a melodrama. I hope that Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari will treat the story with respect and give it the justice it deserves.
But if she does decide to make a Bollywood version of Maid, I'm definitely going to watch it. I'm curious to see how she adapts the story for a Bollywood audience. And I'm always up for a good Bollywood song and dance.
Here's a humorous take on the article:
Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari wants to remake Maid? I'm not sure if that's a good idea. Bollywood remakes are known for being terrible. But then again, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari is a talented director. So maybe she can pull it off.
I'm just imagining the Bollywood version of Maid. It would be full of melodrama, over-the-top acting, and catchy songs. The lead actress would be constantly crying and the abusive boyfriend would be twirling his mustache.
But maybe that's what I need in my life. Maybe I need a Bollywood version of Maid to cheer me up. After all, what's better than a good Bollywood melodrama?
So, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, if you're reading this, please go ahead and make your Bollywood version of Maid. I'm sure it will be terrible, but I'm also sure it will be entertaining.
