The
psychological
thriller
opened
to
unanimously
positive
reviews
from
critics
and
movie
goers
alike
and
is
also
doing
well
in
countries
like
USA
and
Australia.
Without
a
doubt,
the
ultimate
reason
for
the
movie
to
generate
so
much
of
accolades
is
its
strong
script
and
intriguing
screenplay.
Hence,
not
surprisingly,
Thani
Oruvan
has
already
been
eyed
by
Telugu
and
Hindi
filmmakers
who
have
expressed
their
interest
to
bag
the
remake
rights
of
the
flick.
Recently,
it
was
reported
that
famed
Hindi
actor
Salman
Khan,
along
with
his
team,
watched
Thani
Oruvan
and
is
more
than
impressed
with
the
story
line.
Interestingly,
it
is
being
said
that
plans
are
on
to
rope
in
M
Raja
to
direct
the
Hindi
version
of
Thani
Oruvan.
If
everything
goes
well,
the
Jayam
director
could
well
be
making
his
Hindi
debut
with
Salman
Khan
in
the
lead.
Also
the
latest
buzz
has
it
that
top
Telugu
