Prabhu Dheva to direct the Hindi remake of Telugu super hit Magadheera which will star Shahid Kapoor in main lead.
Magadheera is one of the highest grossing films of Telugu cinema and the film managed to redefine the period drama genre. It is a known fact that Sajid Nadiadwala has managed to acquire the Hindi remake rights of the film.
There have been news going around since a long time regarding Shahid Kapoor being a part of the much awaited period drama. However, it seems Sajid Nadiadwala has finally decided to finalize the cast of the film as well as rope in a director for the film and who better than Prabhu Dheva to direct the film.
A source close to the development revealed to a leading daily-
"Known for directing Hindi remakes of South films, Prabhu was the only name that came to the makers' mind when it came to the remake of Magadheera."
The source even said that the makers are awaiting a big occasion to announce the cast and crew of the film officially. If all goes well, this will be Shahid Kapoor's second film with Prabhu Dheva after R...Rajkumar which did good business all over. The film is currently in very early stages to talk about since the makers are planning to bring about a lot of changes in the plot to suit bollywood sensibilities.
The movie is expected to go on floors late next year.
