The movie that rocked the box-office down south will now be remade in Hindi. And Salman Khan will play the lead role in it.
Writer-director Puri Jagannadh’s Telugu movie ‘Pokkiri’ (starring Mahesh Babu in the lead role) has been a money-spinner in Andhra Pradesh, breaking box-office records of the last seven decades. The movie was such a big hit that a Tamil version Pokkiri has been made by Prabhudeva and stars Vijay and Asin in the lead roles.
Just a few weeks back Bollywood producer Boney Kapoor had acquired the rights to remake the film in Hindi. However, uncertainty remained as to who will play the lead role in the film.
Now, it is reliably learnt that Salman Khan will play the role of a mafia gangster in the film. In fact, the movie tells the story of an undercover cop (Salman) who joins the mafia to bring down the empire of a ruthless don.
The film will have lots of action, stunts, romance and comedy.
It is still not known who will be Salman’s heroine in the movie.
