The trend of old blockbusters being remade with the current crop of reigning stars has gripped Bollywood. Just like how Hrithik Roshan is starring in the Agneepath remake, rumour has it that Ram Charan Tej wants to make his Bollywood debut with the remake of Zanjeer.
Sources close to Charan admit that he is keen. “It’s true that Charan has shown a keen interest in the film, but nothing has been finalised as yet.”
Talks are on and the actor is still negotiating with the children of the late director-producer Prakash Mehra, for the rights of the film. Sources say, Charan should make an official announcement about his Bollywood dreams in two months.
Charan apparently wants to debut as an action hero, not a lover boy. Initially he wanted to debut with a film titled Welcome to the Jungle, a forest adventure, but shelved the idea after his much-hyped Telugu film Orange flopped. When Mehra’s office was contacted to confirm the news, their spokesperson admitted that they were in talks with several people who were interested in buying the film’s rights.
“In the past, many producers have approached us to remake films like Sharabi and Zanjeer. Even now we are approached by filmmakers who are keen on buying the rights of our films. We are in talks with many reputed producers. But we can’t name the interested parties at the moment. As soon as something concrete happens we will make an official announcement.”
If everything goes according to plan we will see Charan playing Vijay, an honest cop who is out to seek revenge after being jailed for six months on false charges made by the gangster Teja.
