This project is the official remake of recent Kannada blockbuster Mufti, which starred Shivrajkumar, Muralist, Shanvi Srivastav and Chaya Singh. The film revolves around a police officer, played by Srimurali, who goes head to head with an underworld boss, played by Shivrajkumar.
The film was directed by Narthan, who has been signed to helm the remake as well. The industry grapevine is that STR has been signed to play the underworld boss while Gautham Karthik will reprise Srimurali’s role of a police officer.
The makers are yet to sign the rest of the cast and crew. However, sources have confirmed that the regular shooting will commence from June or July. Meanwhile, Gautham Karthik, who currently awaits the release of Devarattam, also has a film titled Chella Pillai in his kitty.
STR was last seen in Sundar C’s Vantha Rajavathaan Varuven. He currently has Venkat Prabhu’s Manaadu in his kitty, which is expected to go on the floors in the next few months. Kalyani Priyadarshan was recently signed as the leading lady for this project.
