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.
