Nambiar clarifies his stance
Nambiar expressed his frustration over the ongoing discourse. He told Mid-Day, "It is an official adaptation. We have mentioned it in the credits in the trailer and also in the film." "I am just annoyed how people just assume that we are just copying and remaking." "Since it's the first time I am adapting another film, I made it a point not to watch the original," he added.
