AR Murugadoss's next Hindi movie is going to a remake of 'Million Dollar Baby', the 2004 Hollywood sports drama.

The entertainer will star Akshay Kumar, who is going to reprise the intense performance put in by Clint Eastwood in the original. Marina Kuwar, a known face on TV, will play Akshay's boxing student in this emotional drama.

"Working with a star like Akshay Kumar is like a dream come true, the journey from modelling to acting has been a major struggle but I have never given up and I am confident I will soon be recognised," the actress has been quoted as saying by a news agency.

A few months before the release of 'SPYder', ARM was reportedly planning to remake 'Kaththi' with Akshay. It turns out that he has since had a change of mind.
