MUMBAI: The 2018 Tamil-Telugu suspense thriller  U-Turn is all set to get a Hindi avatar. The film stars Samantha Akkineni in the character of a money-spinner.

Understandably, it has now been lapped up for a  Hindi remake. Tapsee Pannu has been approached to play the lead role. At the same time, the producers are keen on getting Samantha for a cameo in Hindi.

As per sources, Samantha is not keen to extend her popularity down South into the Hindi belt. She is reluctant and is thinking about it and the reason that is doing rounds in media is that the actress wants to start a family.

Given the original’s unwillingness to extend her frontiers Tapsee Pannu is the natural choice to take Samantha’s place in the Bollywood remake of U Turn.
