Real life boxer Ritika Singh who debuted with sports drama ‘Saala Khadoos’ with Madhavan not only won accolades for her performance but also won National Award under special mention category. This film was simultaneously released in Tamil as ‘Irudu Suttru’. Madhavan enacted the role of a boxing coach while Ritika Singh was seen as a fisherwoman who gets an opportunity to be a boxer.
It was announced that a Telugu remake is in the pipeline with Venkatesh as lead. Sudha Kongara who directed the original will direct this Telugu version too. After considering various options, Sudha feels that only Ritika can do justice for that role and roped her in for Telugu version opposite Venkatesh. Pre-production work for this film is going on full swing.
