Kapoor reportedly watched Thalaivar Thambi Thalaimaiyil earlier this year during a visit to Coimbatore for the Celebrity Cricket League. He caught a screening at a local theater, where the film’s treatment and performances left a strong impression on him.
After initial discussions with the makers, talks moved forward over the next few weeks. The deal was eventually locked during the film’s success party in Chennai, where Kapoor met the team again. With the remake rights now secured, the project is expected to move into the next stage soon.
