It looks like Kollywood is headed the Bollywood way as we hear rumours that the Hindi film Race will now be remade in Tamil. According to industry sources, Thala Ajith may be the front runner for the remake of this Saif Ali Khan-starrer.
The buzz is that the actor has been keen on remaking this suspense thriller ever since it released in 2008. And since the rights to the film are held by a Mumbai-based production company, the whispers are that the company itself may produce it in Tamil as well.
As for the director, there are several names being floated. However, post the success of Ajith's 50th film, Mankatha, Venkat Prabhu is hot in the movie market. And with Thala and Venkat Prabhu having met recently, there are rumours rife that the two will be working together again post Ajith's Vishuvardhan's project.
In fact, Venkat Prabu also had posted on his social networking page that he'd like to work with the actor again. So will it be Ajith and Venkat in the race? We'll have to wait and watch!
