After Arjun Reddy, it's Thadam remake

Producers Ashwin Varde and Murad Khetani, who recently wrapped up the Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy — Kabir Singh with Shahid Kapoor, have taken over the remake rights of another Tamil hit ‘Thadam’.

The Magizh Thirumeni directed film Thadam starred Arun Vijay, Smruthi Venkat, Tanya Hope and Vidya Pradeep, became a box office juggernaut after its release earlier this month.

“Yes, this is this second remake acquisition after picking up the remake rights of the Telugu hit Arjun Reddy. Arjun Reddy too was an underdog film which went on to be a huge hit and so is Thadam. In fact, they picked up Thadam before others could even get their hands on the film,” says a trade source.

Thadam is a typical whodunnit and has Arun Vijay in dual roles. One of them murders a youngster and the case becomes one of the most controversial stories for the media as well. And as cops investigate the case, they are floored when they see two people with the same face and arrest both of them. But both of them are let off due to lack of evidence and the drama begins.

The producers’ duo — Ashwin Varde and Murad Khetani — is also making ‘Satellite Shankar’ with Sooraj Pancholi.
