Director Sreenu Vaitla has announced plans to remake the Telugu blockbuster Dookudu as a Tamil film, with superstar Ajith Kumar slated to play the lead role.
Director Sreenu Vaitla has confirmed that he will produce a Tamil version of the 2011 Telugu hit Dookudu, a comedy‑action film that starred Mahesh Babu and was a commercial success.
The remake will feature Tamil superstar Ajith Kumar in the lead role, marking a significant collaboration between the director and the actor. Vaitla expressed excitement about bringing the original story to a new audience while tailoring it to Tamil sensibilities.
