Everyone knows by now that Khel Khel Mein is a remake. But did you know that the original film has 25+ remakes all over the world?
Yes, you heard it right! The original Italian film Perfetti Sconosciuti (translated: Perfect Strangers) has been remade in Chinese, Korean, Greek, Spanish, Turkish, Mexican, French, Armenian, Russian, and Hungarian, among other languages, making the 2016 blockbuster most remade movie ever.
Aur jab aisi etihasik film ki remake banni thi toh Akki paaji kahan peeche renhe wale the.


Guinness World Record
Perfect Strangers had set the record in January 2024 for 24 remakes. This makes Khel Khel Mein the 25th remake or the 26th film based on the same story (1 original + 25 remakes).
However, this is not the first time it is being remade in India. It was first remade in Kannada with the title Loudspeaker starring Abhishek Jain and Kavya Shah. Additionally, a Malayalam movie titled 12th Man starring Mohanlal in the lead role was loosely based on Perfect Strangers, so it is not considered to be an official remake. but if we wish to include that to the list, then Khel Khel Mein is the 27th film based on the same plot.
