Kattappanayile Rithwik Roshan was a Malayalam comedy film directed by Nadirshah in 2016. The film had received good reviews and was produced by Dileep.

We have earlier reported about the Tamil remake of the film, which will star Vijay TV fame Dheena in the lead role. The title in Tamil is Arrupukottayil Ajith and Nadirshah will be directing this version as well. Siddhi Mahajankitti of Aanandam fame and Aditi Ravi of Alamara fame will be a part of this project.

Speaking exclusively to Behindwoods, Aditi said, "I am pretty excited to act in a Tamil movie. This is my first Tamil movie as a heroine. Arrupukottayil Ajith is the remake of Kattapanayile Rithwik Roshan. I watched the Malayalam version on screen and I have dreamt to be part of this kind of a movie. Nadirshah is directing the film and it is a dream come true moment."
