ADITYA ROY KAPUR TO STAR IN HINDI REMAKE OF ‘THADAM’

MUMBAI : Bollywood actor Aditya Roy Kapur has been roped in to star in the Hindi remake of Bhushan Kumar and Arun Vijay’s super hit Tamil film ‘Thadam’. This new adaptation is being produced by Kumar’s T-Series and Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios. Announcing the film on T-Series’ official Twitter handle, the makers wrote, “We’re excited to announce our next, a thriller, starring @adityaroykapur in a double role for the first time. Hindi remake of the Tamil hit, #Thadam, to be directed by Vardhan Ketkar.”

This yet-to-be-titled thriller will see Aditya in a double role for the very first time, portraying two completely different avatars. Helmed by debutant director Vardhan Ketkar, the film is tentatively planned to go on floors in September this year.

Aditya said, “I am inspired and excited to be part of telling such an interesting story. The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and it left a lasting impression on me. As an actor, getting a chance to do a double role is double the preparation and double the challenge, and I’m certainly up for it! I look forward to collaborating with Bhushanji, Murad Bhai and Vardhan to bring this exciting thriller to the screen soon.”

Producer Bhushan Kumar shared, “When Murad Bhai shared the idea of the Hindi remake of Thadam I was excited as it had received a lot of acclaim down south. Working with like-minded people is always fun, that is why I like collaborating with Murad Bhai. The last film we did with Aditya was an action film and everyone loved him in that role. We all mutually agreed he will fit the characters in this as well.”
