Chennai: Tamil Super star Vijay’s Kaththi movie was a successful film, now it is going to be remade in Telugu with Akshay Kumar for Bollywood movie.

Vijay’s last successful movie came with ‘Kaththi’. The movie was directed by A.R.Murugadoss. LYCA Productions produced the venture. Samantha did female lead role. Anirudh composes music. George.C.Williams cranked the camera behind the lens.

The movie was initially touted to speak Telugu.  Chiranjeevi chose the movie as his 150th movie. V.V.Vinayak was likely to direct the project. But as ‘Akhil’ failed, Chiru dropped ideas of acting in the movie. ‘Kaththi’ was stranded on mid-way without any help,

This time the movie goes to Bollywood. Akshay Kumar is doing the lead role in Hindi version. Last time also he did Vijay’s ‘Thuppakki’ as remake. He made the movie under the title ‘Holiday’. Now he has opted ‘Kaththi’.

A.R.Murugadoss said he himself will handle the screenplay portion. The rest of the technical crew is not finalized yet and the hunt for female lead is on.
