Bollywood director Rohit Shetty is gearing up to remake Tamil hit movie Vijay Sethupathi’s Soodhu Kavvum. To be produced by Rohit under Rohit Shetty Entertainment Pvt Ltd, this film will hit the floors from mid 2014.
Rohit Shetty is impressed with Soodhu Kavvum story line that he is keen on either directing or producing the movie and apparently acquired the remake rights. UTV Movies, Fox Movies and Endemol India were among the others in rush for Soodhu Kavvum remake rights.
Currently, Rohit Shetty is busy with his Ajay Devagan starring Singham 2, written and directed by him. For now, Imran Khan and Shraddha Kapoor are expected to play the leads in Soodhu Kavvum remake while Sudeep's name is also being considered to play Vijay Sethupathi’s role.
Sources claim, hit remake filmmaker Rohit Shetty is likely to wield megaphone for Soodhu Kavvum remake too, but the Golmaal director has immense pressure to work with Shah Rukh Khan post Singham 2 and so we also hear the name of director Shimit Amin of Chakde India.
