Sandalwood
superstar
Shivarajkumar,
for
the
longest
time,
had
decided
to
stay
away
from
remakes.
He
managed
to
keep
his
vow
intact
for
almost
14
years.
But
in
2019,
the
Century
star
decided
to
do
Kavacha
which
was
a
remake
of
the
Malayalam
film
Oppam.
This
was
followed
by
the
recently
released
Drona
(remake
of
Tamil
film
Saattai)
which
performed
dismally
at
the
box
office
amid
coronavirus
outbreak.
And
now,
according
to
a
few
media
reports,
the
actor
is
all
set
to
star
in
the
Kannada
remake
of
the
2019
Tamil
hit
Kaithi.
However,
the
announcement
has
generated
a
rather
lukewarm
response
on
social
media.
A
few
folks
are
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
Hat-trick
hero
in
a
powerful
role
while
others
are
rather
unhappy
and
were
complaining
that
the
star
is
doing
too
many
remakes.
It
must
be
noted
that
most
reigning
stars
of
Sandalwood
have
been
opting
for
original
scripts
that
are
gaining
pan-India
popularity
whilst
doing
splendid
numbers
at
the
box-office.
Shivarajkumar
fans
have
similar
expectations
from
the
star
and
find
it
rather
pointless
for
him
to
denounce
his
'no
remake’
wow
at
this
stage
in
his
career.
Speaking
about
Karthi
starrer
Kaithi,
the
film
revolves
around
an
ex-convict
who
gets
involved
in
a
chase
with
criminals
as
he
races
against
time
to
drive
poisoned
cops
to
the
hospital
in
exchange
for
meeting
his
daughter.
The
film
directed
by
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
also
starred
Narain
and
Dheena.
The
Kannada
remake
of
Kaithi
will
be
directed
by
Nanda
Kishore.
The
director,
in
the
meantime,
is
busy
wrapping
up
his
next,
Pogaru
starring
Dhruva
Sarja.
On
the
other
hand,
Shivarajkumar
is
busy
completing
Bhajarangi
2
directed
by
Harsha.
The
movie
stars
Bhavana
as
the
female
lead
and
has
Arjun
Janya’s
music.
