Naman Ramachandran Bollywood A-lister Ajay Devgn returns to the director’s chair with “Bholaa,” in which he also stars alongside Tabu.

This is Devgn’s fourth directorial effort after “U Me Aur Hum” (2008), “Shivaay” (2016) and “Runway 34” (2022). A remake of 2019 Tamil-language hit “Kaithi,” “Bholaa” follows a prisoner who is going to meet his young daughter after being released from jail.

However, he gets embroiled in an epic journey that sees him up against a drug cartel and helping the police. “We are keeping the basic storyline similar, obviously that’s the reason you make a remake, because we like the storyline.

We’ve altered a lot of characters, a little bit of the screenplay, and the characteristics of people. The drama has changed in a way, the emotions have changed – somewhere I would say enhanced, more underlined,” Devgn told Variety. “Bholaa” will release in 3D, Imax and 4DX versions worldwide. “It’s a big scale film, it’s an action film, and the kind of visuals and action we have, we thought that we’d enhance the whole drama and action sequences and the tension,” Devgn said about the film, which is shot by Aseem Bajaj. “The atmosphere and the surroundings and action we’ve created is something which I don’t think people have seen much of.” “Kaithi” is part of the Vikram universe, which includes “Vikram” (1986) and “Vikram” (2022). “‘Bholaa’ ends at a note where you will feel that there is going to be a part two, it would not be a similar part two like ‘Vikram,’ or an adaptation.
