Aditya Roy Kapur has replaced Sidharth Malhotra in the Hindi remake of the popular Tamil film Thadam. The film will be helmed by debutant director Vardhan Ketkar. Based on true events, the yet-to-be-titled thriller will see Kapur in a double role for the first time.

Aditya is excited to work on this challenging role and said in a statement, "I am inspired and excited to be part of telling such an interesting story. The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and it left a lasting impression on me. As an actor, getting a chance to do a double role is double the preparation and double the challenge, and I’m certainly up for it! I look forward to collaborating with Bhushanji, Murad Bhai, and Vardhan to bring this exciting thriller to the screen soon."

People are, however, upset with the fact that the makers are going for yet another remake and how Bollywood lacks originality.

Aditya will also be seen in the upcoming film OM -The Battle Within alongside Dil Bechara actress Sanjana Sanghi.
