Director Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt’s film “Kill,” set for release this Friday, is already slated for a Hollywood remake. Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, in collaboration with 87 Eleven Entertainment Company—renowned for the John Wick series—has announced plans for this remake. The news comes ahead of the July 5 release of “Kill,” directed by Bhatt. Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions revealed that this marks the first instance of a Hindi-language film partnering with a Hollywood studio for theatrical release in North America and the UK. Adam Fogelson, President of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, made the announcement.
Chad Stahelski of 87Eleven Entertainment praised the film, stating, “‘Kill’ is one of the best action films I’ve seen recently. Nikhil has crafted action sequences that demand a wider audience. It’s an honor to remake it, and we look forward to working with Nikhil, Karan, Apoorva, Guneet, and Achin to bring this to fruition.”
The creators of “Kill” expressed their excitement in a joint statement: “When we made ‘Kill’ with Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt, we dreamed of global recognition. The buzz in North American cinemas feels like that dream is coming true. As we approach our global release, we are thrilled that 87Eleven Entertainment will remake our film in English.”
Karan Johar’s production “Kill” has been generating significant buzz even before its release. After premiering at the Toronto Film Festival, the film is set to hit theaters on July 5, 2024. Written and directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt, the movie features Lakshya, Tanya Maniktala, and Raghav Juyal in pivotal roles.
