Kiara Advani to star opposite Akshay Kumar in the Hindi remake of Kanchana?

Kiara Advani, last seen in the Telugu film, Vinaya Vidheya Rama, opposite Ram Charan, has reportedly been roped in to play the female lead in the Hindi remake of 2011 hit Tamil film, Kanchana.

It was announced a while ago that Raghava Lawrence, who directed and starred as the lead in the original, will be helming the Hindi version too. Interestingly, Kiara will also be sharing screen space with Akshay in Good News, which also stars Kareena Kapoor and Diljit Dosanjh. Meanwhile, she is also part of Shahid Kapoor's Kabir Singh, which is the Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy. 

The yet-to-be-tiled remake is expected to be just inspired from the core story of the original and not a frame by frame copy. The makers are expected to make a formal announcement about the principal cast and crew soon.
