The 2015 Hindi version, directed by Nishikant Kamat, stars Ajay Devgn (as Vijay Salgaonkar), Tabu (as IG Meera Deshmukh), and Shriya Saran.

The story has been successfully remade into other major Indian languages, including Telugu (Drushyam starring Venkatesh) and Tamil (Papanasam starring Kamal Haasan).
