Aashiq Abu's Mayaanadhi is getting a Hindi remake. Luv U Soniyo-fame Joe Rajan will direct the film, while Aashiq Abu, Santosh Kuruvilla and Sachin Pilgaonkar will be producing it.

The critically-acclaimed romantic drama starred Tovino Thomas as a criminal on the run who falls in love with an aspiring actor played by Aishwarya Lekshmi. Written by Dileesh Nair and Syam Pushkaran, the film won rave reviews for its novel concept and characterisation.
