Ajay Devgn To Give Tanhaji Editor A Big Break As A Director With Kaithi Remake?

Ajay Devgn is surely one busy actor with projects lined up in his kitty one after the other. Now amid the lockdown, the actor has busied himself with the pre-production of his next film. Well, Kaithi a Tamil film is all set to be remade and would star Ajay Devgn in the lead.

However, Mid-Day reported, a source revealed, the director of the original Tamil flick is quite busy and therefore, Devgn has zeroed in on someone else to helm the film.

It was two months ago, in February that Ajay Devgn had announced, he had acquired the Hindi adaptation rights of the 2019 Tamil film Kaithi. The film revolves around a freed prisoner who has been entrusted with the responsibility to drive the cops to the nearest hospital after they are poisoned at a party. The original film starred Kartik Sivakumar and is an action-thriller and Devgn is not new to the genre, on the contrary, he is pretty comfy with it. It was expected that Lokesh Kanagaraj who directed the original film would be directing the remake of the Hindi film too. But seems things won’t work out.

Mid-day has reported Devgn has turned to cousin Dharmendra Sharma to do the job. The report quotes a source as saying, “Lokesh Kangaraj is currently busy, Ajay has trusted debutant director Dharmendra Sharma with the responsibility. The actor likes to give a platform to new talent. While Tanhaji-The Unsung Warrior saw Om Raut take charge, his next release Bhuj: The Pride Of India, too has a first time director. Ajay was impressed with Dharmendra's work on Tanhaji, on which he served as an editor and hence decided to give him a break. He has previously worked on several of Ajay’s home productions. The actor will probably make an announcement after the current situation has settled down.”

Well, whatever the case is, we hope things fall into place as soon as possible. Form roe on this one, keep a close tab on Desimartini.com
