In a much-anticipated move, renowned Tamil director Atlee is all set to remake the 2016 blockbuster “Theri” in Hindi, and the latest update reveals exciting details about the upcoming project. The film, produced under the banner ‘A for Apple,’ boasts an ensemble cast led by Bollywood heartthrob Varun Dhawan, with Keerthy Suresh and Wamika KP playing the female leads.

Atlee, recognized for his string of hits in the Tamil film industry, including the recent success of “Jawaan,” announced the news through a grand pooja ceremony and released a captivating video capturing the essence of the project’s initiation. Kalees is said to be directing the film, and fans are eager to witness his interpretation of the Tamil hit in Hindi.

This venture marks Varun Dhawan’s 18th film, and expectations are soaring given Atlee’s track record, especially after his triumphant collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan in “Jawaan,” a movie that accumulated a staggering Rs.1140 crores at the box office. Atlee’s ambition doesn’t stop there; he has declared his intention to direct a film targeting an unprecedented collection of Rs.3000 crores, hinting at a collaboration with both Vijay and Shah Rukh Khan in the future.

The success of Atlee’s directorial journey is notable, starting with his debut “Raja Rani” and continuing with three consecutive hits alongside Vijay, with “Bigil” crossing the Rs.300 crore milestone. Reports initially suggested that Atlee might direct Shah Rukh Khan after the success of “Bigil,” but the plan shifted towards “Jawaan,” a move that garnered massive investment amounting to 300 crores.

“Jawaan” not only met the high expectations but exceeded them by collecting a whopping Rs.1140 crores. Riding on this triumph, Atlee has chosen to tread the path of Hindi cinema with the remake of “Theri.” The movie’s pooja and shooting video have been released, heightening the anticipation among fans.

Adding to the excitement, the cast and crew, including Atlee, Priya Atlee, Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh, and Wamika Gabi, participated in the grand pooja ceremony. The production company, ‘A for Apple,’ has promised to unveil the film’s title soon, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more details.

For those unfamiliar with “Theri,” the 2016 Tamil hit starred Vijay, Samantha, Amy Jackson, and Mottai Rajendran. Vijay’s portrayal of a police officer, combined with a compelling storyline, made the film a super hit. Actress Meena’s daughter, Nainika, also left a lasting impression as a child star.

Atlee’s venture into Hindi cinema with “Theri” adds another layer to his already illustrious career, and with Varun Dhawan leading the cast, expectations are high for a Hindi version that captures the essence of the original Tamil blockbuster. Stay tuned for more updates as the team gears up for the much-anticipated release of this exciting project.
