Director N Lingusamy's upcoming Hindi remake of Tamil blockbuster 'Paiyaa' will reportedly feature Vidyut Jamwal in the lead. This film will mark N Lingusamy' directorial debut in Bollywood. The original film is a 2010 release that starred Tamannaah Bhatia and Karthi Sivakumar.

Prior to this, Vidyut worked with N Lingusamy in the film 'Anjaan' in which he shared the screen with Tamil superstar Suriya . The female lead is yet to be finalized. A source said "Lingusamy previously worked with Vidyut in 'Anjaan', his last Tamil film. The two got along really well and developed a great equation. So, it was only a matter of time before he decided to work with Vidyut again,"

The source further added that "The script is still getting locked in. But they are completely adapting the original script for Bollywood. They are incorporating significant amount of action scenes given that it's Vidyut's forte,"
