Kollywood's master filmmaker Gautam Menon's super hit police story Kaakha Kaakha (2003), which was remade in Telugu as Gharshana with Venkatesh and Asin in the lead roles, will be remake in Hindi with John Abraham as the hero.
Making his directorial debut with Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein, Gautam Menon earlier approached Sunny Deol and Fardeen Khan for the lead role, before John gave his nod for the Hindi version which will be produced by Vipul Shah.
"The film was announced in 2007, but after things didn’t materialise between Gautam and Sunny, it was put on hold. Later, Feroze Khan bought the rights of the film and wanted to cast his son Fardeen in the lead role. After he expired, the film was shelved indefinitely before John came to the rescue. The film will hit the floors later this year,” a source was quoted as saying.
