The film is simultaneously being released in Tamil, and will have Sibiraj reprising the lead role. Helmed by Pradeep Krishnamoorthy, the film has Nandita Swetha playing the female lead. Suman Ranganathan, Nasser, and Jayaprakash will play key roles in the Tamil version too. The films are remakes of hit Kannada film Kaavaludaari, with Anant Nag playing the lead role.
Producer Dhananjayan has reiterated that the team will release both the films after the first or second week of re-opening of theatres. He had previously talked about losing almost Rs 1 crore due to the lockdown and halt in shooting. Both the films have wrapped up their shooting and are in the last stages of few formalities.
Apart from Kapatadhaari, Sumanth will reportedly reprise the lead role in the Telugu remake of Malayalam film Padayottam. An official confirmation on the same is awaited.
