Mumbai, Sep 15 (IANS) Vivek Rangachari, the producer of highly acclaimed "Lunchbox", says his next will be a remake of Tamil hit "Chennai 600028", which was about street cricket.

He has tentatively titled the Hindi version "Kirkit", which will be made under his banner DAR Motion Pictures.

"Yes, we are remaking a Tamil film 'Chennai 28' in Hindi. The film has gully cricket as the backdrop. It's a very youth-centric film and the film is tentatively titled 'Kirkit'," he said and added that the Hindi version will be made in a way that it would appeal to the audience.

Rangachari said director Bejoy Nambiar has teamed up with him to co-produce the movie.
