If things go as per plan, the actor will kick off the shoot in April. Director M Padmakumar, who helmed the original starring Joju George, is shouldering the responsibility for the Hindi adaptation. “Sunny hopes to shoot it in the summer in a start-to-finish schedule. The narrative has been tweaked to appeal to the Hindi-speaking audience. The story is now set in Jaipur,” reveals a source. The supporting cast will be finalised soon.
The 2018 thriller revolves around the titular character, a sharp-witted retired cop who is brought on board to investigate a murder. While George’s performance earned him a special mention at the 2019 National Film Awards, the movie’s compelling plot has piqued curiosity, leading to the announcement of remakes in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada.
