Following the stupendous success of Tamil action film Kaththi starring Vijay, which raked in over Rs30 crore in the opening weekend worldwide, producers from Telugu filmdom have shown keen interest to remake the film in Telugu language.
Actor Pawan Kalyan is being considered for the film's remake.
"Several producers have expressed interest to remake Kaththi in Telugu. Pawan Kalyan is the top contender in the list of actors to play the lead in the remake. But the makers of the original haven't yet sold the remake rights," a source close to producers of Kaththi told IANS.
