Kunal Kemmu to play Andy Samberg’s Jake Peralta in Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Indian remake? Fans are ‘happy sad confused’-OxBig News Network

That’s what rumour says. According to a report shared by Peeping Moon, a Hindi adaptation of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is in the works, backed by Deepak Dhar’s Banijay Asia. The production company had earlier joined forces with Netflix for Call My Agent: Bollywood, the Indian remake of a French comedy-drama. Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s India adaptation will reportedly star Kunal Kemmu in the lead as Andy Samberg’s beloved character Jake Peralta, who is a skilled detective dealing with immaturity and hence trouble in taking things seriously. Unless it comes to cracking a case. Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Indian adaptation will be directed by Dhoom Dhaam and Rishta.com fame Rishab Seth.

Buzz suggests that Kunal is expected to begin this series after he’s done shooting for another show, titled Single Papa. Well, netizens were left divided after this new information came to light. For instance, one social media user shared, “I am happy sad confused at same time,” whereas another wrote, “I’m kind of excited for it. I know it could go badly buuut I’d quite like to hear lots of these jokes in Hindi if they adapt it right :).” Another netizen claimed, “They need not copy exactly.. It won’t work.. Need to loosely base the characters and indiasized the story line. Lets see how it goes.. Kemmu as peralta is a good casting call.. His comic timing is great and he can be goofy as peralta,” while a comment read, “Perfect casting 👏👏he can do a good justice to this role😂😂.” But some are genuinely against the remake. One such netizen claimed, “Kunal Khemu can’t capture the essence of Jake peralta. It will be bad! I just know it,” whereas another wrote, “They tried to make the office indian version..how did that go huh!? Why can’t they come up with something original instead of making cheap remakes. Shows like mamla legal hai,gram chikitsalaya,panchayat are really good. We need more like that not some american show ka sasta remake.”

HT City has now exclusively revealed that Kunal Kemmu has not been approached for this project yet. But what are your expectations from an Indian adaptation of Brooklyn Nine-Nine?
