Malaysia will release Banduan, an official remake of Tamil blockbuster Kaithi, on Nov 6. Produced by Number Twenty One Media and Dream Warrior Pictures Malaysia, the adaptation brings cross-cultural collaboration to the big screen.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Kaithi (2019), starring Karthi, was acclaimed for its raw action and emotional depth. Banduan reshapes the story through Malaysian culture and settings while staying true to its themes of redemption and survival.
Producers called it a retelling rather than a direct copy.
