While it was earlier rumoured that KV Anand might direct the Hindi version too and will debut into Bollywood as director, recent developments reveal that the production house of ‘Ko’ has roped in Prakash Jha to direct this political thriller.

Prakash Jha who has already become a hit, directing political films (read 'Rajneeti' and 'Aarakshan') we hear is all set to zoom his camera for this next venture. While the director has confirmed his berth to helm this project all the other details like the cast and crew members are being worked out.

The Tamil version had Jiiva as the lead actor, as a go-getter photo journalist and also saw Karthika debuting as the heroine in Tamil with this film. The film’s music too went on to become chartbusters.
