We had earlier told you that 'Ko' is being remade in Hindi with Akshay Kumar essaying the lead role, for it was the actor who was first impressed with KV Anand's venture and expressed the desire to take it up north.

Now rumours are doing the rounds in the film industry that Akshay Kumar's production house, Hari Om Movies, who are producing the film in Bollywood, have approached Ajmal for essaying the same role, in the Hindi version as well!

The movie will be directed by Akshay's dear pal, Anthony D' Souza.

Although Ajmal appeared in several roles in Tamil, it was his portrayal of Vasanthan Perumal in 'Ko' that has shot him to fame and won him much critical acclaim, for his role in this film is as important as the protagonist, Jeeva.

So will this yet-to-be-titled film in Hindi, a remake version of 'Ko,' give equal importance to Ajmal's character in the film and will Ajmal sign on the dotted lines and make his debut in North?

We'll be sure to tell you once the official word is out.
