Hrithik Roshan to replace Akshay Kumar in Kaththi remake?.

Bollywood grapevine is abuzz that actor
Hrithik Roshan will be portraying the lead
role in the Hindi remake of Tamil
blockbuster Kaththi. If rumours are to be
believed, the Kaabil actor will be replacing
Akshay Kumar, who was earlier tipped to
star in the film.
According to reports, a team from the
production banner recently met Hrithik and
discussed several scripts, including director
AR Murugadoss's 2014 Tamil hit, which had
Ilayathalapathy Vijay in the lead. The actor,
however, is yet to give his nod for the
project.
Earlier, Akshay was expected to play the
lead role in the remake film. When asked if
he is doing the film, the Jolly LLB 2 star said
in an interview, "I think so, adding that the
project was still in talks." Before that, even
Salman Khan was rumoured to be
considered by Murugadoss to play the lead
in the Hindi remake after a photo of them
during a discussion surfaced online.
However, nothing got materialised.
Interestingly, Akshay and Salman have acted
in the Hindi remakes of Murugadoss's south
Indian films - Holiday and Jai Ho,
respectively.

Recently, Kaththi was also remade in Telugu

in January and became Tollywood's first
blockbuster movie of 2017.
