Salman Khan to star in the Hindi remake of Vijay's Tamil movie 'Master'?

The Hindi remake will be produced by Murad Khetani and Endemol Shine

Bollywood actor Salman Khan is reportedly set to star in the Hindi remake of the Tamil blockbuster Master, which featured Vijay in the lead. According to Pinkvilla, Bhai' has apparently liked the concept and is waiting for the makers to come back with a bound script. The writers of the Hindi version will need to make several changes to the original script to suit the pan-India sensibilities.

Master, directed by young filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, was an actioner that revolved around the journey of a rowdy professor and hit the right notes with its massy storyline. The film starred Vijay Sethupathi as the antagonist and marked his first collaboration with 'Thalapathy'. 'Makkal Selvan' impressed fans with his sincere performance and gave strong proof of his abilities as a performer. The cast included Andrea Jeremiah, Petta actor Malavika Mohanan, Arjun Das and Nassar.

It hit the screens on January 13 and emerged as a big hit in Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states despite Covid-19 restrictions. The Hindi-dubbed version, however, proved to be a 'disaster' as it was not promoted well.

It stars Disha Patani as the leading lady and is her second movie with her Bharat co-star. Radhe has a star-studded cast that includes Jackie Shroff, Randeep Hooda and singer Arjun Kanungo.
