According to Variety, Chad Stahelski and his production firm, 87Eleven Entertainment, will recreate the action film for Lionsgate.

Additionally, Kill was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Karan Johar, Guneet Monga, Apoorva Mehta, and Achin Jain are partnering on the project through Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment.

Of course, Karan Johar has expressed his enthusiasm at the latest development. The director uploaded a screenshot of the news report to Instagram Stories. KJo captioned the photo with "Elated…" and included emojis of folded hands and punch.


Meanwhile, Chad Stahelski believes Kill is "vivid, wild, and creative." "Kill is one of the most vivid, wild, and creative action movies I've seen lately..."Nikhil [Nagesh Bhat] produces unrelenting action moments that should be watched by as large an audience as possible. Variety reported Chad Stahelski as stating, "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 also included a joint statement issued by Kill's producers, Karan Johar, Guneet Monga, Apoorva Mehta, and Achin Jain. 

Karan Johar has released a photo of the first look test for 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.'

It stated, "When we made Kill with Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, we dreamed of worldwide love, and seeing North American audiences yell 'Kill! Kill! Kill!' was like witnessing that vision come true. As we approach our global release, we are delighted to announce that 87Eleven Entertainment will producing an English adaptation of our film.
