Dabangg Remake Tamil Version Title OsthiThe puja of the STR starrer Osthi – The Cool Cop, the remake of the super hit Hindi film Dabangg took place at the AVM pillayar kovil this morning. The event was attended by a host of Kollywood celebs including Rama Narayanan, RB Chowdary, T Rajender and Salman Khan’s brother Arbaz Khan who flew in from Mumbai for the launch.

The film stars STR playing a cop for the first time, taking the role of the original Chulbul Pandey, played by Salman. There was a stiff competition for the remake rights of this super hit but ultimately it was producers Balaji Real Media and  Mohan Apparao who bagged it.

The film is directed by Dharani and Sonakshi Sinha’s role is played by Richa Gangopadhyaya who was not present at the launch. The role of Dimple, the mother of the hero, will be done by Revathi who returns to Tamil films after a gap. At the press meet following the puja, Dharani disclosed that Sonu Sood would continue as the villain in the Tamil version as well while Gopinath is doing the camerawork. S Thaman handles the music.

The film is a first cop role for STR who disclosed that he is growing a moustache for the role. The shoot will begin next month. I want to try all genres of films and playing a cop seems an exciting prospect for me. I am observing some cops and also doing some body building before the start of the shooting. I am a Salman fan and I loved the film when I saw it and I thought I would suit the role. I am sure Dharani will give me a new color. said STR.

Revathi who was also present, added that she was confident of doing the film once she knew that Dharini was at the helm. Jithan Ramesh who was present, plays the role of STR’s brother in the film, which was originally played by Arbaz Khan.
