These days we are coming across several projects in Bollywood that are remakes of some hit south projects. While few top stars are busy in such films currently, latest to join the remake bandwagon is our Youngistan handsome Ranbir Kapoor.
Buzz is that Ranbir has been approached for the remake of 2009 Telugu super hit film ÂMagadheeraÂ, starring Ram Charan and directed by SS Rajamouli. The Hindi version will also be helmed by Rajamouli and produced by Madhu Mantena and Allu Arvind. According to sources, the producer wanted to sign in the likes of Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapoor. However things didnÂt work as planned and finally Madhu went for Ranbir who is also associated with Madhu's brand management company.
Sources believe that Katrina Kaif will play opposite Ranbir, for the leading lady which was played by Kajal Agrawal in the original. For the records, ÂMagadheera is a reincarnation story that travels 400 years back and forth. The film is about a warrior who lived at a time when Mughals ruled a part of North India around the 17th century. The warrior falls in love with the princess he is to protect but they both die only to be reincarnated again 400 years later. The film had created records by being the highest grosser movie in Telugu.
It is said that Ranbir will feature here in double avatars. And to match the scriptÂs character, the actor has been asked to work on his body to get into a macho shape.
However, one has to wait for the confirmation from the concerned parties . So stay tunedÂ
