Ajay Devgn south inspired
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,February 18 2010]
After a string of successes from remakes of Malayalam films in other Indian languages, the demand for remake rights of Mollywood movies are increasing many folds.
One can look forward to yet another southern script on our Hindi shores; and this time it will be presented by Ajay Devgan !
The actor-producer said to have been quite gung-ho over a Malayalam action flick Puthiya Mukham  one of the biggest hits of last year, starring Malayalam superstar Prithviraj. Ajay loved the storyline of the movie so much that he planned for an immediate remake of it in Hindi and even bought the rights to produce it.
The Hindi version will be directed by Rohit Shetty, who churned out comedies with Ajay earlier. Said Rohit, ÂI have seen Puthiya Mukham three times. Ajay and I have been wanting to do a hardcore action film for the last three years. At last, we are doing it.Â
The director had previously given an action film ÂZameen (2003), which also had Ajay along with Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu.
As a matter of fact, recently the remake rights of another Malayalam film, ÂBodyguardÂ, was sold for high prices for Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
