‘Bholaa’: Teaser of Ajay Devgn’s ‘Kaithi’ remake out
The Hindu
Also directed by lead star Ajay Devgn, ‘Bholaa’ also features Tabu in a leading role
The teaser of Bholaa was released by the makers on Tuesday. Ajay Devgn has directed and starred in the lead role of the film, which is the Hindi remake of the 2019 hit Tamil film Kaithi.
The teaser begins with a young orphan girl being told that a surprise guest is about to visit her the next day. As she wonders who that might be, we are shown glimpses of a prisoner reading Bhagavad Gita. The one-minute 30 seconds teaser then shows glimpses of action sequences, particularly one in which Ajay leaps from a running motorbike and onto the hood of a car with a trident in his hand.
2019’s Kaithi starred Karthi in the lead role and was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film is the first part of the filmmaker’s ‘Lokesh Cinematic Universe’, which was established earlier this year in the superhit Kamal Haasan-starrer Vikram. A sequel to Kaithi was announced by the makers earlier, however, no further information regarding the same is available as of now.
Kaithi’s Hindi remake Bholaa marks Ajay’s fourth film as a director after U Me Aur Hum, Shivaay, and Runway 34. The actor is currently basking in the success of Drishyam 2.
Bholaa, which also stars Tabu, is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, R Prakashbabu, and S R Prabhu. The film is set to hit screens on March 30, 2023 in 3D.

A vacuum cleaner haunted by a ghost is the kind of one-liner which can draw in a festival audience looking for a little light-hearted fun to fill the time slots available between the “heavier” films which require much closer attention. A useful ghost, the debut feature of Thai filmmaker Ratchapoom Boonbunchachoke being screened in the world cinema category at the 30th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK), even appears so in the initial hour. Until, the film becomes something more, with strong undercurrents of Thailand’s contemporary political history.

Sustainability is not an add-on, but stamped firmly into the process: every piece is biodegradable, waste-free and unembellished, free from glitter or beads. “Products should be sustainable and biodegradable so that our planet is not harmed,” says Anu Elizabeth Alexander, a student of Sishya, Adyar. At a recent exhibition, the stars she made sold the fastest, followed by the small diamonds. “I would like people to know about the process, how it is created, and that it is sustainable,” says Anu. Infanta Leon from Kotturpuram developed an interest in crochet as a teenager. It was a hobbyhorse that evolved into a steed that would help her embark on a journey of identity-shaping creative engagement. She started making Christmas-themed decor two years ago, spurred by a desire to craft safe, eco-friendly toys for children. “With a toddler at home, and my elder child sensitive to synthetic materials, I wanted to create items that were gentle, durable and tactile,” she explains. Her earliest creations were small amigurumi toys which gradually evolved into ornaments that could adorn Christmas trees with warmth and charm.
