In Kaththi, Akshay Kumar will be seen essaying a double role, that of a thug and a post graduate in Hydrology. The film revolves around the sensitive issue of farmer suicides in India. While A R Murugadoss directed the original film, the Hindi remake will mark the debut of Jagan, who has assisted Murugadoss in the past.
