Aditya Roy Kapur, who’s already won heart and soul with his performances in films such as Aashiqui 2, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Malang, Ludo, and others, has landed a major project about which he can’t stop gushing. To be sure, the actor has been cast in the lead role in the Tamil action film Thadam, a Bollywood version. Aditya will also be filling Arun Vijay’s shoes in the adaptation, something he is looking forward to.
In this yet-to-be-titled film, which will also be helmed by Bhushan Kumar and Murad Khetani, Aditya will portray a dual role in two different personas. While the film is believed to be based on true events, it will be directed by Vardhan Ketkar, a first-time director. Aditya expressed his thoughts on the subject, “I am inspired and excited to be part of telling such an interesting story. The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and it left a lasting impression on me. As an actor, getting a chance to do a double role is double the preparation and double the challenge, and I’m certainly up for it! I look forward to collaborating with Bhushanji, Murad Bhai and Vardhan to bring this exciting thriller to the screen soon.”
Murad Khetani, who is financing the film, said that while he admires Arun Vijay’s performance, he hoped to create it all for the Hindi viewers. “Aditya has been doing great work and his image as an action hero is being highly appreciated. Since our movie needed a strong personality like his, we reached out to him and he instantly agreed to come on board,”
The film, which has yet to be named, is set to enter theatres in September of this year. Meanwhile, Aditya is now starring alongside Sanjana Sanghi in Kapil Verma’s OM.
