Following the completion of Drishyam 2 earlier this month, Bollywood actor Ajay Devgn has started filming Bholaa, the Hindi remake of the successful Tamil film Kaithi, which was released in 2019. Devgn started filming for the action film on Saturday, directed by newbie Dharmendra Sharma, who previously worked as an editor on Tanhaji – The Unsung Warrior (2020) and Shivaay (2016).
According to sources, Ajay began the month-long shoot on Saturday by filming an action sequence on the streets of Kharghar. Several pursuit sequences were shot till Tuesday, according to action director Ramazan Bulut.
Next week, the team will head to Madh Island where a set of the police commissioner’s office has been built. Some crucial dramatic scenes will be filmed at this location.
The original film revolves around a prisoner, played by Karthi, who comes to the aid of the police when they are attacked by a gang of smugglers. In exchange, the police help him reunite with his daughter. As per reports, while the premise for the story remains the same, the Devgn-starrer has been tweaked to suit the taste of the pan-India audience.
Besides Devgn, the movie also stars Tabu. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj had penned the story of Kaithi. For Bholaa, the story has been revisited by Sandeep Kewlani and Aamil Keeyan Khan, who have written the dialogues too.
