Keeping in line with the remake trend, Bala’s Pithamagan, released a few years ago will be remade in Hindi. The remake rights are bought by director Sathish Kaushik who has already zeroed in on Sanjay Dutt for playing Vikram’s role that fetched the actor the coveted national award.

On the other hand, Kaushik still hasn’t figured out who will play Suriya’s role and says he is yet to finalize the same. “I showed Sanjay the movie and he was completley awstruck by Suriya's performance. I will announce the other details very soon,” he was quoted as saying recently to a tabloid.
