Karthi's Kaithi remake rights acquired by this top Bollywood actor? Deets inside...

A movie which released for this Deepavali on October 25th and which has been going great for the past few days at the theatres is Karthi's Kaithi, which is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Despite this movie being just his second directorial, there were a lot of expectations for Kaithi and the footfalls, housefull shows and Box Office collections prove that he is as good as the people expected him to be. Kaithi has been bankrolled by Tiruppur Vivek for Vivekananda Films along with SR Prabhu and SR Prakashbabu for the Dream Warrior Pictures banner. Recently, some sections of the media have been reporting that the remake rights of Kaithi have already been acquired.

A leading media house reported that Ajay Devgn Ffilms had acquired the Hindi remake rights of Kaithi. However, when we checked with our industry sources, we came to know that the remake rights have not been given out to anybody yet. This movie was simultaneously released in Telugu too, with the title Khaidhi. With no heroine or song sequences, Kaithi still had all the audiences glued to the screens, watching from the edge of their seats as the movie unravelled. The story of this movie is set over the proceedings happening on a single night.

Sam CS scored the music for Kaithi and his BGM came in for a lot of acclaim from all quarters. Philominraj handled the editing and it was top notch. Kaithi went up against Thalapathy Vijay's Bigil at the BO and both the movies have been doing well at the theatres with more screens being added for Kaithi with each passing day. Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj has already begun work on his next movie, with Vijay in the lead. This project is tentatively being called Thalapathy 64 and the first schedule has already been canned with the second schedule set to happen in Delhi, soon! Keep watching this space for updates...
