The
Hindi
Remake
Starring
Akshay
Kumar
Has
Been
Titled
'Ikka'
According
to
a
report
in
Mumbai
Mirror,
just
like
Vijay,
the
'Mission
Mangal'
actor
too
would
be
playing
a
double
role
in
the
movie.
For
those
who
ain't
aware,
'Kaththi'
was
directed
by
AR
Murugadoss
and
revolved
around
Vijay's
character
Kathiresan
who
fights
to
protect
the
rights
of
poor
farmers
from
greedy
MNCs.
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
played
the
role
of
the
main
antagonist
in
the
Tamil
flick.
This
Is
The
Reason
Why
'Ikka'
was
Put
On
The
Backburner
Director
Jagan
Shakti
revealed
that
the
remake
was
put
on
the
backburner
after
he
came
across
the
story
of
Mission
Mangal.
"But
now
Ikka
will
go
on
the
floors
very
soon," the
director
was
quoted
as
saying
by
the
tabloid.
Will
'Ikka'
Impress
Just
Like
'Kaththi'?
He
further
added,
"It
will
resonate
with
the
underprivileged
section
of
the
society.
With
my
second
directorial,
I
want
to
explore
action
which
is
presented
in
a
sleek
way."
