The original film featured Ajith as Ganesh, an underworld don-turned-cab driver, who secretly avenges the murders of his sworn sister's parents.
For the Hindi version, the makers are scouting for a female lead.
The yet-to-be-titled film will mark a third collaboration between John and Rohit after Desi Boyz (2011) and Dishoom (2016).
