According to reports, actor Arjun Kapoor will star in the Hindi remake of film Premam, a Malayalam blockbuster, which was remade to equal acclaim in Telugu.  The film, which will be directed by Abhishek Kapoor, features three female leads, but they have not yet been finalised. 

The original ensemble involved young actors Nivin Pauly, Sai Pallavi, Madonna and Vinay Forrt. The movie traces the life of a man through his relations with three different women in his life. 

The movie had become something of a sleeper hit in Tamil Nadu, inspiring numerous memes. When reports came of a possible Tamil remake, fans of the movie campaigned on Facebook against it. 

Premam was the biggest hit of Malayalam in 2015. On a meagre investment, it reportedly minted over Rs 75 crore worldwide. Directed by Alphonse Puthren, the movie had completed 125 days in Kerala.
