After the immense success of Velayilla Pattadari, rumors stated that there will be a remake of the film in Hindi, and Dhanush himself will star in it. In a recent interview, the query about the remake was asked and Velraj, the director of VIP responded.

"No, Dhanush won't do that. He does not like making one film twice. He is not for doing the same scenes and acting the same role twice. Therefore, I can assure you there will be no such remake," said Velraj. He also spoke of being a director as VIP was his debut in directing. "A cinematographer doesn't have the same responsibility as a director, a director has to be in communication with all actors and the production crew while a cameraman has no such hassles. A director has to be keen, concentrating at all times, as the success or failure of a film depends on him," he explained.
