With Nadodigal being declared a smash hit, the director is 
now busy working on its Telugu, Kannada and Hindi remake. The Telugu version is expected to commence sooner than the Hindi version and the director had signed up Ravi Teja to play the lead role. Talks are on with several leading Tollywood stars to play the important roles in the film. The Kannada remake is due to commence later this year with Puneet playing the hero.
The latest we hear is that Samuthrakani is holding a discussion with the Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel to play the lead role.
