The movie's remake was announced last February by Ajay Devgn and Reliance Entertainment, stating that the actor would reprise the role of Dilli (Karthik Sivakumar) in the Hindi remake of the action-packed thriller Tamil film, Kaithi (2019). The source stated that Ajay will personally work on the script and pre-production and Kaithi will be one of his best movies to date. Adding to it, it was revealed that everything is confidential and under wraps due to the spike in COVID-19 cases in Mumbai and the announcement will be made after the shooting for the first schedule gets completed.
