Ready – 5 Things You Did Not Know About – Lemborco

Ready is a 2011 Indian Hindi-language masala film directed by Anees Bazmee. Produced by T-Series Films, Rawail Grandsons Entertainment and Software Pvt. Ltd., Sohail Khan Productions and Eros International, the film is the official remake of the 2008 Telugu film of the same name directed by Srinu Vaitla.

1. The Dhinka chika, song picturised on Salman Khan and Asin, appears twice in the film. The song appears once in the middle of the film, and once when the credits roll.

2. Salman Khan holds 50% of the share in ‘Ready’. Sallu slashed his fees for the film and therefore holds a 50% stake in the profits.

3. Salman’s father, Salim Khan, has bought the distribution rights of ‘Ready’ for the C.P.C.I. Rajasthan territories. While the CPCI territory was sold for a whooping Rs. 6.21 crore, the worldwide distribution rights went for Rs. 55 crore.

4. Everyone knows that Salman’s ‘Ready’ is a remake of the Telugu film of the same name. Now here’s where it gets interesting: The Telugu Ready (2008) starred Ram Pothineni and Genelia D’Souza. In 2009, it was remade as Raam in Kannada with Puneeth Rajkumar and Priyamani. In 2010, its Tamil version was called Uthamaputhiran, starring Dhanush (Rajnikanth’s son-in-law) & Genelia! Quite a long list of re-re-remakes!

5. Arbaaz Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Zarine Khan, Sanjay Dutt and Chunky Pandey have guest appearances in the film.
