Kunal Kemmu to play Andy Samberg's Jake Peralta in Brooklyn Nine-Nine's Indian remake? Fans are ‘happy sad confused'
Brooklyn Nine-Nine has to be one of the most watched and enjoyed American sitcoms out there. Thanks to the epic performances and the iconic content, there are fans who have binge-watched the 8-season long police procedural series not just once but twice. May it be Andy Samberg (46) as Jake Peralta or the late Andre Braugher as Raymond Holt, every character has a fun backstory. But most importantly, the sitcom has received love from across generations because it has managed to deal with issues regarding race, gender and sexual orientation in the most humorous and inoffensive way. Well, the show is now getting an Indian adaptation with Bollywood actor Kunal Kemmu (42) in the lead. Andy Samberg's iconic Jake Peralta might be played by Kunal Kemmu in Indian Brooklyn Nine-Nine 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 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 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?

The American cop-comedy series Brooklyn Nine Nine, starring Andy Samberg, the late Andre Braugher, Melissa Fumero, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Joe Lo Truglio and Chelsea Perretti, has become a cult classic over the years. And now, it is getting an adaptation in Hindi for the Indian audience. Kunal Kemmu; a still from Brooklyn Nine Nine Recent reports stated that Rishab Seth, who has directed Dhoom Dhaam and the recently released Mistry, is going to be helming the show, but seems like it's all a bit in the early stages. And now a source close to the development informs us, 'The makers do have a strong desire to bring out the Indian adaptation, but it is at a very nascent stage. Nothing is signed or confirmed as of yet and they are still looking out for a platform.' Reports also suggested that actor Kunal Kemmu has been approached to play the lead character, essayed by Andy in the original. However, that isn't the case. 'The casting of Kunal Kemmu is a complete rumour. His name has been discussed among the makers due to his impeccable comic timing, but he has not been a part of those discussions yet and nothing has been taken to him. The casting process is still a few months away,' the source shares, giving an important update on the show. 'The writers have written a pilot episode and fleshed out the characters as per Indian setting, but it's all a little early. Although, if all things go well, the show might hit the screens after a year,' the source says. Brooklyn Nine Nine follows a group of cops in the 99th precinct in Brooklyn, New York, and their everyday antics as they solve cases with a hint of humour. The show has achieved cult following over the course of its six seasons run, and is often rewatched on TV and streaming.
