Suriya’s Singam 3 to be remade in Hindi with Sunny Deol in the lead

Suriya’s Singam series is very popular among the Tamil audience. The first two parts were commercially successful but the third part released in February this year failed to create any impact in the box office. Despite that, the movie is getting a Hindi version.

While the first two parts featured Ajay Devgn in the lead, the upcoming movie will have Sunny Deol as the protagonist. However, the remake of Singam 3 aka Si3 will have no connection with Ajay Devgn-Rohit Shetty team’s Singham franchise.

The Hindi version of Si3 will be directed by ace cinematographer Ravi K Chandran. He made his directorial debut in 2014 with the Jiiva starrer Yaan and this remake is just his second film as a director.

The veteran is renowned for his works in films like Kannathil Muthamittal, Black, Ghajini, My Name Is Khan etc. His upcoming movie with Sunny Deol will be produced by Jayantilal Gada.

Singam 3, released on February 9 met with largely mediocre reviews from the critics. The tried and tested commercial formula and the lack of novelty in the script backfired for the movie. Let’s wait and see how Ravi K Chandran presents it before the Hindi audience.
