Ayyappanum Koshiyum's Hindi Remake

The Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum is a Malayalam action thriller movie directed by late K. R. Sachidanandan aka Sachy. John Abraham had bought the rights of Ayyappanum Koshiyum last year but there had been no developments due to the ongoing pandemic. John had said that he would start working on the same once the pandemic gets better. The original Ayyappanum Koshiyum cast starred Prithviraj Sukumaran and Biju Menon in the lead roles. Ayyappanum Koshiyum was one of the few movies that released in the theatre before the countrywide lockdown. It was well-received by the audience and the critics too.

A source close to the development of Ayyappanum Koshiyum's Hindi remake told Pinkvilla that John Abraham and Abhishek Bachchan have been trying to collaborate on a film again ever since the release of Dostana. However, nothing really materialised. Ayyappanum Koshiyum finally is a quintessential two-hero film that will do justice to their persona and will give equal standing to both John and Abhishek. The source further added that both the actors have started a conversation on the film and the paperwork is in progress and should be completed soon.
