# **Tu Yaa Main**: Shark Bait or Bollywood Gold? Director Bejoy Nambiar Spills the Truth on Thai Remake Rumors! Imagine a romantic getaway turning into a nightmare with a real crocodile snapping at your heels—sounds like the plot of Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav's buzzworthy thriller **Tu Yaa Main**, but is it just a rip-off of a Thai horror flick?[1][2][3] Directed by the stylish Bejoy Nambiar and produced by Aanand L. Rai's Colour Yellow banner, **Tu Yaa Main** stars Shanaya as the glamorous influencer Miss Vanity and Adarsh as the quirky Aalaa Flowpura from Nalasopara. What starts as a sizzling social media collab blossoms into romance, only for their villa trip to go horribly wrong when a crocodile invades the swimming pool, trapping them in a pulse-pounding survival fight.[1][4] The trailer kicks off with a cheeky nod to the 1980s classic *Khoon Bhari Maang*'s infamous croc attack on Rekha, building tension with fast-paced chases, underwater terror, and shocking drags into the depths.[1][4] Rumors swirled that this was a straight copy of the 2018 Thai survival thriller **The Pool**, but director Bejoy Nambiar has clarified: it's an **official Hindi adaptation**, not a remake in the traditional sense. Thai producer Amornthep Sukmanont and original writer-director Ping Lumpraploeng confirmed the Indian team secured rights from Mono Film years ago, though the Thai creators won't receive on-screen credit per contract.[3] Shanaya Kapoor revealed she deliberately skipped watching the original to keep her performance fresh and instinctive, guided purely by Nambiar's vision—ensuring an original spin with Mumbai flair, refined visuals, and a killer background score that amps up the suffocation.[1][2][6] Set for a thrilling February 13 release, **Tu Yaa Main** clashes at the box office with Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri's *O Romeo*, promising real croc sequences and a genre mash-up of romance, comedy, action, and horror that'll have you on the edge of your seat.[1][2] Fans are already raving about the trailer's intensity, praising how it outshines the raw Thai promo by diving deeper into character bonds and escalating dread.[2]
