The announcement comes ahead of the release of the original Hindi language 'Kill' directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhatt, reports Variety.
This film is going to be released on 4th July.
According to Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, this weekend's theatrical rollout marks the first time a mainstream Hindi-language film is partnering with a Hollywood studio for a theatrical release in North America and the UK.
According to 'Variety', Stahelski said in a statement: "'Kill' is one of the most vivid, wild and creative action films I have seen recently. Nikhil consistently delivers action sequences that are meant to be seen by the widest possible audience." It's exciting to develop an English language version, I look forward to working with Nikhil, Karan, Apoorva, Guneet and Achin to achieve this."
In the film, a commando named Amrit (Lakshya) learns that his girlfriend Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) is getting engaged against his wishes. He boards a train to New Delhi to derail the arranged marriage and be reunited with his true love. However, his journey takes a turn when a gang of knife-wielding thieves begin terrorizing innocent passengers on the train, prompting Amrit to take him on and save those around him.
Producers Karan Johar, Dharma Productions' Apoorva Mehta and Guneet Monga Kapoor and Achin Jain said in a joint statement: “When we made 'Kill' with Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, we dreamed of global love, and North American cinemas' Kill! Strike! Kill!' It was like seeing that dream come to life. This announcement ahead of the release of the original film is unprecedented and a huge win for Indian cinema. We are truly honored.”
