New Delhi, Oct 8: Actor Karthi says he is looking forward to the Hindi version of his Tamil hit “Kaithi”, headlined by Bollywood star Ajay Devgn.
Titled “Bholaa”, the remake of the 2019 blockbuster is Devgn’s fourth project as a director and also features Tabu in a pivotal role.
Karthi, who played the lead in “Kaithi”, said the makers were approached by many filmmakers from across the country for the remake rights.
“A lot of people called me and they wanted to buy the rights to ‘Kaithi’, but then Ajay sir was the first one to get it. I’m really glad that he is doing the Hindi remake and he is directing it as well,” the 45-year-old actor told PTI. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, “Kaithi” featured Karthi as Dilli, a recently released prisoner who finds himself in a dangerous situation where he has to rush poisoned cops to a hospital in exchange for meeting his daughter. Karthi, who currently stars in historical action drama “Ponniyin Selvan-I”, said he is confident that Devgn will do justice with the film’s story as well as the lead character. (PTI)
