Dharala Prabhu, the official remake of Ayushmann Khurrana–Yami Gautam starrer Vicky Donor (2012), featured Harish Kalyan and Tanya Hope in the lead roles. The romantic comedy was set against the backdrop of sperm donation and infertility much like the original but was modified to cater to South Indian audiences.
Dharala Prabhu that opened to positive reviews unfortunately managed to stay in theatres only for a period of three days owing to coronavirus-imposed lockdown. This affected the box office numbers for the makers of the romantic-drama who later took to Amazon Prime Video for the release of the film.
