Ajay Devgn confirms playing the lead in Hindi remake of Kaithi

“Yes, I’m doing the Hindi remake of the Tamil film Kaithi. Releases on February 12, 2021,” Ajay confirmed on his social media page. Kaithi revolves around an ex-convict who is on his way to meet his daughter for the first time. He is accompanied by an injured police officer and, before he reaches his destination, he has to face a gang of drug lords.

Directed by LokeshKanagaraj, the Tamil original, which starred Karthi in the lead role, received positive reviews from critics and did well at the box office.

The film will be co-produced by Reliance Entertainment along with the Chennai-based film company Dream Warrior Pictures, founded by brothers S.R. Prakashbabu and S.R. Prabhu. Prabhu had said that Kaithi is a film with “no heroine, no songs and 100 per cent action.”

“Released with all these odds on the Deepavali festival day, Kaithi came out as a box office blockbuster among the family audience in South. We’re delighted to join hands with Reliance Entertainment for the Bollywood remake. This high-octane film will surely entertain the audience pan India,” Prabhu had said.
