Recently, it was revealed that Ek Villain actor will also be a part of the Hindi remake of Tamil actioner, Thadam.
A source close to the development of the movie has confirmed that the makers have locked on to the female lead for the highly-anticipated Hindi remake and she is none other than Mrunal Thakur, who is currently shooting for another Hindi remake, Jersey, starring Shahid Kapoor in the lead.
