First it was Aamir Khan, now AR Murugadoss will be giving the baton to yet another Khan in his next remake venture. Salman Khan will be seen in the next movie by the ‘Ghajini’ famed director.

Titled ‘Kick’, the film is said to be a remake of a Telugu romantic-action adventure with the same title. The film will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and will have lissome beauty Deepika Padukone opposite Salman.

It is said that the producer were initially hesitating to approach Deepika to act with Salman, as she shares a good rapport with Shah Rukh Khan. But the actress made it very clear to the producer that she is open to work with any actor.

The original version is directed by Surender Reddy. However, the producer was sure about not getting the original Telugu director. For, Nadiadwala stated, “I don’t believe in letting the South Indian directors do the Hindi remakes.”

‘Kick’ is expected to take further the fashion of action drama and to be more exciting than ‘Ghajini‘ and ‘Wanted‘. Nadiadwala doesn’t want ‘Kick’ to look like ‘Wanted 2’. He said that they will be shooting the action scenes in Tokyo. The film will use Abhijat Joshi who had done the script for Munnabhai.
