Osthi (Tamil: ஒஸ்தி; English: Superior) is an upcoming Indian Tamil action film directed by S. Dharani, starring Silambarasan. A remake of the 2010 blockbuster Hindi film Dabangg, directed by Abhinav Singh Kashyap and written by Dileep Shukla, it will feature Githan Ramesh, Santhanam, Richa Gangopadhyay, Sonu Sood(reprising his role from the original), Nizhalgal Ravi and Revathi in supporting roles. The film is in post-production stage and is set to release on 11 November, 2011.
After considering Bollywood actresses Sonakshi Sinha and Sonam Kapoor, Bengali actress Richa Gangopadhyay, who had starred in a number of Telugu ventures before, was roped in to portray the lead female character. Githan Ramesh was chosen to play the lead character’s brother, while Sonu Sood would reprise his role from the original. Reports indicating that Madhu Shalini of Avan Ivan fame was signed to play Ramesh’s pair in the film, were dismissed by Silambarasan, who clarified that Saranya Mohan had been finalized for the role. Producer-turned-actor VTV Ganesh, following collaborations with Silambarasan in Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa and Vaanam was signed to portray the father of the female lead character, played by Mahesh Manjrekar in the original version. The team took considerably more time to finalize the actress to perform the item number in the film. Sources reported that several actresses including Nayantara, Shriya Saran, Zarine Khan, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone, Mallika Sherawat and Vidya Balan were considered or even approached, with Sherawat eventually being selected.
