Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala
who
is
making
Kick,
the
remake
of
a
Telugu
film
starring
Ravi
Teja
and
directed
by
Surender
Reddy,
has
got
Ghajini
director
A.
R.
Murugadoss
to
direct
it.
The
film
stars
Salman
Khan
and
the
lead
heroine
will
be
Deepika
Padukone.
She
was
asked
to
do
the
role
when
she
was
working
on
Housefull
with
Sajid
Nadiadwala.
Nadiadwala
was
a
little
uncertain
about
approaching
her
as
he
felt
she
might
have
some
issues
working
with
Salman,
as
she
is
more
inclined
towards
the
Shahrukh
Khan-Farah
Khan-Karan
Johar"s
group.
However,
she
told
him
that
she
has
no
qualms
about
working
with
Salman.
Nadiadwala
got
Murugadoss
to
do
the
film,
as
he
doesn"t
think
South
Indian
directors
should
be
doing
Hindi
remakes.
They
are
now
thinking
of
ways
to
make
the
action
scenes
in
Kick
look
different
from
the
ones
in
Wanted
2.
The
scenes
will
be
shot
in
Tokyo.
The
scenes
will
be
similar
to
the
kind
in
Ghajini
and
will
have
Salman
doing
kickboxing
and
martial
arts.
Scriptwriter
Abhijat
Joshi
(who
scripted
Munnabhai)
is
being
brought
in
from
the
US
to
script
the
Hindi
version
of
Kick.
He
will
be
in
India
soon
for
the
release
of
3
Idiots,
which
is
co-written
by
him.
