Tamannaah will share the screen space with Farhan Akhtar and Sanjay Dutt, while the film will be produced by Ajay Devgn.

Tamannaah Bhatia will start the shooting of the film, after wrapping up the Queen Remake. The storyline of Jigarthanda will be altered a bit to give the Bollywood touch to the film. While the original was set at Madurai, the Hindi remake be based in a village of Maharashtra.
