Prabhudeva is going to start his third innings in Bollywood. This time he will come on the scene as director. The movie will be a remake of a popular Telegu film “Pokhr” and this film will be produced by famous actor and producer Boney Kapoor. Prabhudeva was previously known as an actor and choreographer in Bollywood. Sallu nicknamed famous star Salman Khan will be seen as the protagonist in the movie. Regarding the movie Indiafm reported:
It is rumoured that the film is the highest priced for remaking rights of any south Indian film.
Another very interesting factor is that Ram Gopal Varma once wanted to remake this very film in Hindi with Mahesh Babu (the protagonist in the original version).Ramu had even arranged for a special screening for none other than the Big B who very much enjoyed the film and wanted Abhishek to be cast as the leading man in the film.But unfortunately things didn’t workout and the films rights were eventually bought by Boney Kapoor.
I think, though the movie created a boom in the south Indian film industry, it can not give the assurance of its box office success in Bollywood as many of this kind of attempts was seen going in vain. However, if the story can attract the audience and Salman can show some of his masterpieces, the movie can go on the way it did in Telegy film industry.
