Karan Johar and Guneet Monga acquired the Indian remake rights to Olivier Nakache &amp; Éric Toledano French comedy-drama film, "The Intouchables" (2011) in May 2014. They planned a Hindi version, directed by Mohit Suri. Johar and Monga later authorised PVP Cinema to remake the film in regional languages, postponing their previous plans. Vamsi Paidipally was chosen to direct a bilingual production, entitled "Oopiri" in Telugu and "Thozha" in Tamil. "Oopiri" is the first Indian remake of "The Intouchables". It was also the first Indian remake of a film produced by Gaumont Film Company.
