Aditya Roy Kapur To Play Lead In Bollywood Remake Of Tamil Hit ‘Thadam’; Will Play Double Role For The First Time
Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetai have announced many projects in Bollywood after the tremendous success of Kabir Singh. The producer duo has started further projects in the industry including, Sandeep Vanga directorial ‘Animal’ starring Ranbir Kapoor and Karthik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
Now after casting talented actors in their next hits, they are all set to start working on their recently announced project, the Hindi remake of Tamil hit, Thadam. The duo has selected Aditiya Roy Kapur to portray the lead character in the thriller which was originally played by a supremely talented actor, Arun Vijay. According to the sources, Sidharth Malhotra was the initial consideration for the role.
Actor Aditya Roy Kapur expressed his excitement for portraying this tough role and 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.”
Further in the interview, Aditya shared that working again with Bhushan Kumar is a pleasure. The Aashiqui 2 actor said, “When Murad Bhai shared the idea of the Hindi remake of Thadam I was excited as it had received a lot of acclaims 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.”
While talking about the film, he said, “When I watched Thadam I instantly knew that this story needs to reach the masses. Soon after I reached out to the Tamil makers and acquired the rights of making this film in Hindi. When I shared the story with Bhushanji, he came on board immediately. Aditya has been doing great work and his image as an action hero is being highly appreciated. Since our movie needed a strong personality like his, we reached out to him and he instantly agreed to come on board. We are also looking forward to working with Vardhan Ketkar who is making his directorial debut with Thadam.”
The Bollywood remake of Thadam is going to be produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Murad Khetan’s Cine1 Studios.
