Mufti starring Sriimurali and Shiva Rajkumar was a big hit in Kannada. Now, producer Gnanavel Raja has acquired the Tamil remake rights of the movie directed by Narthan. It’s said that the makers are in talks with Arya and Simbu to play the lead roles in the movie.

While Arya is expected to play an undercover police officer, Simbu has been approached to play the dreaded underworld boss. Sarathkumar has also been approached for an important role in the movie.

Arya, who recently completed shooting his portions for Suriya’s Kaapaan is getting married to actress Sayyeshaa, who was his co-star in Ghajinikanth and Kaapaan. Simbu was recently seen in a cameo in Oviya-starrer 90ML. While Simbu has Venkat Prabhu’s Maanadu followed by movies with Seeman, Gautham Menon and Karthick Naren in the making, Arya has Magamuni in the pipeline.
