Akshay Kumar in Hindi remake of 'Thuppakki'

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 17 2012]

If things go as planned then B-town’s Action King Akshay Kumar will be seen in yet another Tamil remake. Akshay Kumar made a power-packed impression with Prabhu Deva’s ‘Rowdy Rathore’ which was the remake of Telugu film ‘Vikramarkudu’ (which was also remade in Tamil as ‘Siruthai’ and Kannada as ‘Madakari’). Now buzz is that the rough-tough star will team up with the superhit ‘Ghajini’ helmer AR Murugadoss for the Hindi version of his latest Tamil release ‘Thuppakki’.

Released this Diwali ‘Thuppakki’ stars Vijay and Kajal Agarwal (who debuted in Bollywood with ‘Singham’) in lead and the film is already on the way to become a huge hit. A complete action entertainer, the story of ‘Thuppakki’ is about an Army captain and the film is set against the backdrop of Mumbai. Incidentally it is said that Murugadoss in fact wanted to make this film in Hindi first, since it had Mumbai flavour. However apparently things didn’t turn out as expected and the director went on to make the Tamil film and now he is back to Hindi version plans.

Talks are that either Kajal who did ‘Thuppakki’ might take up the leading lady’s role in the Hindi remake – or Katrina Kaif whose name is also making the gossip rounds.
