A hunt seems to be on for the lead roles in the Hindi version of ‘Vettai’. The film will be remade in Hindi by director Lingusamy who knows commercial cinema like the back of his hand.

It was earlier said that Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor will be approached for the lead roles but now grapevine is abuzz that the makers are toying with the idea of approaching Shahrukh Khan and Imran Khan for the remake in Hindi.

The film's story features Madhavan and Arya as brothers – former as a peace-lover while the latter is a ruffian. Now going by the blockbuster status of the Tamil film, UTV wants to remake it for Bollywood with two top stars. Since SRK and Imran have never attempted South remakes, the makers feel that these two will be apt for the script and also their casting will kick off some excitement.

However, Madhavan seems to be keen on doing his role from the original in Hindi as well.

As of now, talks are still going on about the cast, but a remake is for sure on cards.
