The 2005 psychological action thriller featured South star Vikram in the lead and chronicled the story of a man who suffers from multiple personality disorder- working as a lawyer by day and a vigilante at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The adaptation, billed as a pan-India project, will be produced by Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Singh, 35, said he is blessed to be a part of the “spectacular cinematic vision” of Shankar, known for directing blockbusters like Rajinikanth’s “Enthiran”, “2.0” and “Sivaji The Boss”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The “Gully Boy” actor described the filmmaker as a “true disruptor” who has proved with his films that no vision is large enough to achieve on screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“To lead a film like ‘Anniyan’ is a dream come true for any artiste. Vikram sir, one of our country’s finest talents, an artiste who I hugely admire, gave a colossal performance in the original, one that can never be matched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I can only hope that my interpretation and rendition of the part also connects with audiences in the same way. It’s undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime performance piece, and I am ready to give this role every single ounce of my being,” Singh said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shankar, 57, said the Hindi adaptation of “Anniyan” needed a “maverick, charismatic showman” which he found in Singh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m thrilled to make ‘Anniyan’ for the pan-Indian audience and I’m confident that this powerful story will strike a chord in the hearts of all. In Dr Gada, Ranveer and I have found an ideal producer who believes in the vision we have to change the nativity of content for audiences across the country,” the director said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gada, chairman and MD of Pen Studios said the film will be one of the biggest cinematic events in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pen will also be the worldwide distributors of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are confident that their collaboration will write a new chapter in the history of Indian cinema. We are announcing the film during a very significant time of Baisakhi and Puthandu to signify Shankar and Ranveer’s intent to make a truly pan-Indian entertainer,” Gada said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The movie, co-produced by God Bless Entertainment, is slated to go on the floors in mid 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The film’s music will be available on Saregama.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
