It was being said for quite some time now that director Jagan Shakti is working on his upcoming film, Ikka. As already known it is the remake of the 2014 Tamil blockbuster Kaththi. It was also being said that Akshay Kumar would be starring in this remake. The director-actor duo recently delivered the film Mission Mangal on Independence Day and it is garnering great reviews. The original film was directed by AR Murugadoss and it featured Vijay.

When we caught up with Jagan, he told us in an interview that Akshay actually has not been finalized for this project yet. Talking to us the director said, “It’s still in the discussion process, it’s not finalised who will do it. The writing is done. We will get to know who’s doing what because Akshay sir is also busy. So nothing is finalised.” He also added, “No star cast is locked. Akshay sir wanted to see what it is, but again, it’s all about dates and other things which need to be figured out. As soon as it’s all fixed, I will let everyone know.” Well, it looks like we will have to wait a bit more to know who will get selected to reprise Vijay’s role. The director also mentioned that the writing work on Ikka is almost done! Stay tuned for more details…
