The hugely successful K V Anand-directed Tamil movie Ko is set for a remake in Bollywood and one among the heartthrobs Ranbir Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor is tipped to play the role enacted by Jeeva in the original.
KO was a blockbuster and the director is presently in discussions about the Bollywood project, says actor Ajmal who played a scheming Vasanthan Perumal, Jeeva's friend in the movie.
It was earlier rumoured that Akshay Kumar was to play Jeeva's role. "But it would either be Ranbir or Shahid who are likely to enact that role," said the actor.
Ajmal, who shot to fame playing the role of an anti-hero in the Tamil movie Anjathey, says his role in KO is every actors dream and if everything goes well, he might get a chance to reprise the same in its Bollywood version too.
Anand who was impressed with Ajmal's shots in Thiru Thiru Thuru Thuru and Anjathey signed him on for the movie. "He wanted me to play the role of Jeeva's friend. I was totally focused on my character," says Ajmal, who as a student leader gets elected and becomes Chief Minister in the movie, a seemingly goody-goody character whose real intentions are revealed only in the latter half and catches viewers unawares.
KO has stunning music numbers composed by Harris Jayaraj and the songs are still topping the charts even after months since the film released.
