It's
official!
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
is
all
set
to
step
into
Arun
Vijay's
shoes
for
Bhushan
Kumar
and
Murad
Khetani's
next
which
is
a
Hindi
remake
of
the
2019
Tamil
action-thriller
Thadam.
The
film
will
be
helmed
by
debutant
director
Vardhan
Ketkar.
Based
on
true
events,
this
yet-to-be
titled
thriller
will
see
Kapur
in
a
double
role
for
the
first
time.
The
Malang
actor
is
quite
excited
to
take
up
this
challenge
and
said
in
a
statement,
"I
am
inspired
and
excited
to
be
part
of
telling
such
an
interesting
story.
The
original
film
was
incredibly
riveting
and
entertaining,
and
it
left
a
lasting
impression
on
me.
As
an
actor,
getting
a
chance
to
do
a
double
role
is
double
the
preparation
and
double
the
challenge,
and
I'm
certainly
up
for
it!
I
look
forward
to
collaborating
with
Bhushanji,
Murad
Bhai
and
Vardhan
to
bring
this
exciting
thriller
to
the
screen
soon."
Speaking
about
his
latest
association
with
Murad
Khetani
and
working
again
with
Aditya
Roy
Kapur,
producer
Bhushan
Kumar
shared,
"When
Murad
Bhai
shared
the
idea
of
the
Hindi
remake
of
Thadam,
I
was
excited
as
it
had
received
a
lot
of
acclaim
down
south.
Working
with
like-minded
people
is
always
fun,
that
is
why
I
like
collaborating
with
Murad
Bhai.
T
he
last
film
we
did
with
Aditya
was
an
action
film
and
everyone
loved
him
in
that
role.
We
all
mutually
agreed
he
will
fit
the
characters
in
this
as
well".
Further,
producer
Murad
Khetani
revealed
that
since
the
release
of
Thadam
in
2019,
he
was
keen
to
make
the
film
for
the
Hindi
audience.
"When
I
watched
Thadam,
I
instantly
knew
that
this
story
needs
to
reach
the
masses.
Soon
after
I
reached
out
to
the
Tamil
makers
and
acquired
the
rights
of
making
this
film
in
Hindi.
When
I
shared
the
story
with
Bhushanji,
he
came
on
board
immediately.
Aditya
has
been
doing
great
work
and
his
image
as
an
action
hero
is
being
highly
appreciated.
Since
our
movie
needed
a
strong
personality
like
his,
we
reached
out
to
him
and
he
instantly
agreed
to
come
on
board.
We
are
also
looking
forward
to
working
with
Vardhan
Ketkar
who
is
making
his
directorial
debut
with
Thadam,"
Khetani
said
in
his
statement.
Thadam
helmed
by
Magizh
Thirumeni,
starred
Arun
Vijay
in
a
dual
avatar
with
Tanya
Hope,
Smruthi
Venkat
and
Vidya
Pradeep
playing
prominent
roles.
The
investigative
thriller
revolves
around
a
murder
case
where
the
cops
find
two
probable
suspects,
who
look
alike
but
do
not
know
each
other.
Upon
its
release,
the
film
was
appreciated
by
the
audience
and
the
critics.
Aditya
Roy
Kapur's
Thadam
Hindi
remake
is
tentatively
slated
to
go
on
floors
in
September
this
year.
Besides
this
movie,
the
actor
will
also
be
seen
in
Om:
The
Battle
Within
opposite
Sanjana
Sanghi.
