John Abraham to star in the Hindi remake of Vedhalam
South Indian mass-masala films have always been much in demand in Bollywood. Ajith starrer ‘Vedhalam’ is the latest from the South to get a Hindi version. John Abraham is starring in the movie’s remake. Producer Bhushan Kumar acquired the remake rights after being impressed by the original. The Hindi version will be adapted to make it appealing to the sensibilities of the native audience.
‘Vedhalam’, released in 2015, was an action-packed entertainer directed by Siva. Along with Ajith, the movie has Lakshmi Menon, Shruti Haasan, Rahul Dev, Kabir Duhan Singh and Ankit Chauhan in major roles. During its time of release, the movie got mixed reviews from the critics, but the fans and common audience lapped it up and it eventually emerged as a big blockbuster.
The makers of the Hindi version will be hoping to repeat the success of ‘Vedhalam’. Apparently, John has agreed to be a part of the film; however, he is yet to sign on the dotted lines. The director has also not yet been finalized. Once the final script is locked and a director is on board, the team will begin casting and other pre-production works.
