Arguably one of the biggest cinematic successes of this year stemming from the Bollywood industry is the Nikhil Nagesh Bhat directed ‘Kill’ starring Lakshya in the lead.

With its highly astounding positive responses from audiences in India, it also made a stellar impression on the foreign film industries. Particularly on the Hollywood cinematic community.

Chad Stahelski, the creator of the multi-billion dollar “John Wick” franchise was so stunned by the film, that he expressed his delight in producing an English language remake of the same, even before the film hit the Indian theatres.

“’Kill’ is one of the most vivid, wild, and creative action movies I’ve seen recently. Nikhil delivers relentless action sequences that need to be seen by as wide an audience as possible. It’s exciting to be developing an English-language version — we have big shoes to fill and I’m looking forward to working with Nikhil, Karan, Apoorva, Guneet, and Achin to achieve that,” Stahelski affirmed.
