Chad Stahelski, renowned for his direction of the 'John Wick' franchise, is gearing up to produce the English-language remake of the Indian action film 'Kill'. The original Hindi movie, directed by Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, has already garnered significant acclaim, particularly following its world premiere at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

'Kill', described as the most violent film to come out of India, is a collaboration between Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment. Stahelski, through his 87Eleven Entertainment banner under Lionsgate, expressed his excitement in a statement: "Nikhil delivers relentless action sequences that need to be seen by as wide an audience as possible. It's exciting to be developing an English-language version — we have big shoes to fill and I'm looking forward to working with Nikhil, Karan, Apoorva, Guneet, and Achin to achieve that."

The story revolves around Indian Army commando Amrit, portrayed by Lakshya, as he defends his love Tulika (Tanya Maniktala) against a brutal gang on a hijacked train. This production marks a rare collaboration between a mainstream Hindi film and a Hollywood studio, aiming for theatrical release in North America and the UK soon. Jason Spitz and Alex Young will also join the production crew for 87Eleven Entertainment.

With the film's accolades, including spots as the first runner-up for the People's Choice Award: Midnight Madness at TIFF 2023, the adaptation by Stahelski promises a thrilling international cinematic experience.
