Genelia in Hindi remake of "Kakha Kakha"

Guess who is finally playing the female lead in the Hindi remake of Kakha Kakha? It’s none other than the chirpy Genelia.

The pretty actress has replaced Asin, who was the original choice for the role. The film will now have John Abraham in the lead and Genelia will play his love interest, a character made memorable by Jyothika.
Apparently, Asin had done the Telugu version of Kakha Kakha, which was directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, who had also directed the original.

The Hindi remake will be directed by Nishikanth Kamath, who made the Madhavan-Sangitha-starrer Evano Oruvan. According to sources, John, at the last moment, asked producer Vipul Shah, who had earlier made London Dreams with Asin, to get her replaced.

Genelia and John had earlier come together in David Dhawan’s Hook Ya Crook, which later got shelved.
