Ekk Deewana Tha (English: There Was A Crazy Guy) is an upcoming Hindi language romantic drama film, written and directed by Gautham Menon, featuring Prateik Babbar and Amy Jackson, in her Bollywood debut, in the lead roles. This film is a remake of Gautham Menon's own Tamil film, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa, featuring soundtrack and film score composed by A. R. Rahman, while the cinematography and editing are handled by M. S. Prabhu and Anthony Gonsalves, respectively. Singer Chinmayi has provided the talking voice of the female lead, reprising her role from the original Tamil version and the Telugu remake where she dubbed for actresses Trisha Krishnan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu respectively.

While on production stage, the film was titled Prem Katha, but was renamed as Ekk Deewana Tha, as the director wanted some abstract title for the movie, similar to the original. The film, produced by Fox Star Studios, Photon Kathaas and R.S. Infotainment is currently in post-production stage and is expected to be released on 17 February 2012.

The soundtrack and film score for Ekk Deewana Tha is composed by A. R. Rahman, retaining the same tunes from Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa.
