Vashu Bhagnani ropes in Prabhudeva as antagonist in Tamannaah starrer

The film is an official remake of an upcoming Tamil movie starring Nayanthara.

Mumbai: Vashu Bhagnani is all set to remake his upcoming Tamil production, ‘Kolaiyuthir Kaalam,’ in Hindi. The film, which will star Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead role, has pulled a major casting coup, by getting Prabhudeva onboard as the main antagonist.

"Our first film Coolie no.1 (1995) was a remake of a Tamil film Chinna Mapillai, and it became a cult. Today after 21 years we are again venturing into making a remake of a Tamil film and are really excited for this one. After making handful of comedy films, now we want to explore different genres and this thriller is something that excited all of us. With Tamannaah Bhatia’s chemistry with Prabhudeva and a brilliant script in hand, the shooting has already commenced in London,” Vashu Bhagnani said, elaborating on the same.

Talking about her latest Bollywood venture, Tamannaah said, "I am happy to get associated with Puja Entertainment and Mr. Vashu Bhagnani. I have previously worked with them so its more like a home coming. The film is a woman centric thriller which I have never attempted before this. It's completely new for me and I am am quite excited about it. We have a strong team mixed with Indian and foreign technicians and shooting in London is just amazing.”

Prabhudeva, who’d recently collaborated with Tamannaah in the recently released ‘Tutak Tutak Tutiya,’ said, "When I was narrated the script, I was taken aback. It was a very different kind of a role; even I didn't expect myself to be playing a character like this. It’s the first time I am essaying an antagonist."

The film also stars Bhumika Chawla.
