Akshay Kumar, who had teamed up with South director AR Murugadoss for action-thriller Holiday, in which he played an Army officer, might work in the remake of Kaththi, which was also directed Murugadoss.
The original film revolved around farmer suicides as a result of corporate encroachment, but the remake, which will be titled Ikka, will revolve around scarcity of water and how companies making aerated drinks are tapping into free water and using it to expand their soft drink businesses. Akshay will probably have a double role in the film, which will be directed by Jagan, an associate of Murugadoss.
