Bollywood has been remaking Telugu films since the late 1940s. These remakes usually involve adapting the plot, characters, and dialogue of a Telugu film to the Hindi film industry.

Some of the biggest Bollywood hits, such as ‘Coolie No.1’, ‘No Entry’, and ‘Rowdy Rathore’ have been remade from Telugu films. Bollywood remakes of Telugu films often leverage the star power of the original actors, as well as the success of the original film.
