Shahid Kapoor to star in Sajid Nadiadwala's Magadheera Remake ?

in News August 10, 2014 0


If rumors are to believed, Shahid Kapoor might star in Hindi remake of the biggest Telugu Blockbuster Magadheera to be produced by Sajid Nadiawala. Shahid Kapoor will indeed be a very interesting choice because he hasn't done a historical film till date.

For the naysayers, Magadheera is not just another Telugu/ South film. It is undeniably the biggest Telugu Blockbuster - in the same scale as what Sholay, Huma Aapke Hai Koun and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge stand in Bollywood. It is one of the highest grossing Indian films of its time.

The business Magadheera generated in India was more than the likes of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Ghajini which released along that time. It also has a distinct record of having the highest distributor share for an Indian film until 3 Idiots came and broke the record.

Magadheera has everything in it which an Indian Film especially Bollywood films has. It has an epic love story, reincarnation, drama, war - epsiodes, everything. Sajid Nadiawala is fresh off the success of the blockbuster Kick and shown keen interest in remaking Magadheera for the Bollywood audience. Madhu Mantena has the Hindi rights for the Magadheera remake and he is quite interested in collaborating with Nadiadwala. Few months back it was rumored than Ranveer Singh might star in the remake but he denied being approached for any such film.

P.S :- If this rumor turns out to be true and with Sajid Nadiadwala producing, expect one of the biggest Bollywood films till date.

Around a year ago there were rumours of Phantom producing a remake of the Telugu film Magadheera', in which they were hoping to cast Ranveer Singh. The latest news is that it is now Sajid Nadiadwala who will be buying the rights to remake the film and he will be signing Shahid Kapoor for the film. After producing four box office hits this year: Highway', 2 States', Heropanti' and his directorial debut Kick', Nadiadwala is apparently very excited about this new project.
"Sajid is quite excited about making the film and talks are on that he would be starting the film this year itself. In fact Madhu Mantena, who has the remake rights for Magadheera', is also keen that Sajid makes it and they have already met to discuss things further. Talks are also on that Shahid Kapoor might play the lead role which was played by Ram Charan in the original," a source said to Absolute India.
The original Telugu version was released in 2009, starring Ram Charan and Kaajal Agrawal, and went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters in the Telugu film industry.
Kapoor is currently busy with Vikas Bahl's Shaandar', in which he will be seen opposite Alia Bhatt for the first time.
