Actor Aditya Roy Kapur has come on board for the Hindi remake of the 2019-Tamil action thriller, Thadam. 

Based on true events, the yet-to-be-titled film will see Aditya in a double role, both very different from one another, for the very first time. 

Excited to take up this challenge, Aditya Roy Kapur shares, “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!” 

When asked what brought him on board, the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani-actor complemented the original film. “The original film was incredibly riveting and entertaining, and it left a lasting impression on me,” he avers about the film that is scheduled to go on floors in September. 

Produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios, the film is helmed by debutant Vardhan Ketkar.

On the work front, Aditya was last seen in Ludo, Malang and Sadak 2 and has action-thriller Om: The Battle Within lined up next. Directed by Kapil Verma, it also stars Dil Bechara actress Sanjana Sanghi.
