Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has signed the Hindi remake of A.R. Murugadoss’ 2014 film ’Kaththi’, which featured Tamil superstar Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead.
The film will be produced by Lyca Production and A.R. Murugadoss. It will mark the directorial debut of Jagan.
“Lyca Productions and A.R. Murugadoss will jointly produce the remake, which will be directed by debutant Jagan” a source close to Murugadoss confirmed.
‘Kaththi’ featured Vijay in a double role. The shoot of the Hindi version is expected to begin in April 2016.
This will be the second time Akshay will star in the remake of Vijay’s film. He previously worked in the ‘Thuppaki’ remake, which was titled ”Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty” in Hindi.

No, we don’t want another Remake King in Bollywood after Lallu Khan. ?
Apt for the role.
It would be good if murugadoss directs it.
holiday was in my top 5 favourite movies of 2015. hope this will be better than holiday.
Will prove to be a blockbuster !!!
it will be better than dilwali
movie will be better than dilwale for sure
Having watched Katthi nd loving it, I can say that
AKKI WILL BE PERFECT!
Akshay his flik will bigger hit than “HUM” Ke Remake Wale (Dilwale) at least
Hit hai Boss, Akki’s line-uo looks solid.He just needs to give out 100 crore grossers now to shut his haters up,because hit toh usko films hai hi.Go for it Akshay!
*typo* i mean in 2014 in my above comment.
Blockbuster is coming..
Every director-Producer Akshay k peeche . Terrific! !!!
Hollywood > We Have James bond,Ethan hunt,Tom Cruise,Arnold
Bollywood > We have Akshay kumar .
Kisiki sherwani mein es comparison se pareshani ho toh Hume kya …..it’s Perfect & Bang on .
Akshay’s upcoming film AIRLIFT will be bigger blockbuster than GAREENWALE.
Top 5 upcoming big film prediction
1. TAMASHA — 85cr lifetime
2. Hate story — 85cr lifetime
3. Gareebwale — 115cr max lifetime
4. BAJIRAO — 150cr lifetime
5. AIRLIFT — 150cr+ lifetime
Ranveer, Akshay, Zareen are winner all the way
I watched the south movie thuppakii for just 1 hour nd I felt zameen asmaan Ka fark in both thuppakii nd akshays holiday .
Holiday nd akshay kumar were far far better then original thuppaki nd the lead actor in d movie .
Hoping the same for katthi remake .
Akshay kumar is ultimate action king. So real nd fascinating action .
good news kaththi is classic tamil movie
wah what a grand line up of upcoming movies of akki
Another 60 crore film, flop from Akki.
Flop. What can u expect from Akshay film.
I think this one remake will be very good as GIB is also directed by debut and it is have 8 rated in IMDb so this one will be bigger and better thin holiday and gabbar
Even vivek oberoy is giving 100cr grosser movies (eg-grand masti). But our so called superstar jokerboy has been failing to touch 100cr mark since 6 attempts…!!!
will be really good
and nice to see all A list actors doing different movies and not taking their stardom granted
not sure about sultan, but I hope it to be a bit different
Only south blockbuster remake can save him..
But definitely world wide collection will be less than original version, just like Holiday…
Heard previously that it was an awesome movie so high expectations from it good luck akki
best of luck akki sir. 2016 will be a wonderful year for u . airlift–90 crore. housefull3–145 crore and last but not the least Rustom–110 crore.
80cr blockbuster again
Another 70 cr movie on cards.
Akshay Kumar upcoming movies:
1: Airlift: 80 cr
2:Houseful 3: 90 cr
3: Rustom: 60cr
4: Kaththi remake: 65 cr.
So after 2016, Akki will be in the same league with Tushar Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Fardeen Khan.
Thupaki was a blockbustr..holiday just a hit..same wil happn with kathi remake..
#BM tis xmas
Few years back Akshay had played 2nd lead to great Arman kohli in Jaani Dushman…LOL.
Poor casting.. Akki is not suitable for kathi remake..
