Mr. Bachchan having the shades of Raid and Raid2. Ravi Teja is set to star in "Mr. Bachchan," a Telugu remake of the popular Hindi film "Raid," directed by Harris Shankar. The film aims to offer a fresh and engaging take on the original, incorporating elements from both "Raid" and "Raid 2" to create a unique experience for Telugu audiences.
Sources reveal that while the core narrative remains rooted in the income tax raid storyline, the film will feature additional elements from "Raid 2" to enhance the gripping nature of the story. The original "Raid," starring Ajay Devgn as a dedicated income tax officer, was set in a confined environment, which the filmmakers felt might not translate well to Telugu audiences.
Instead, "Mr. Bachchan" will embrace a more expansive approach, incorporating elements like love, songs, and action sequences to create a well-rounded and relatable Telugu film. The story revolves around an upright officer whose honesty is tested and twisted in a high-stakes battle against corruption.
Adding to the project's potential is the collaboration between People Media Factory and Hindi producers Abhishek Pathak, who are in talks to join forces for the Telugu remake. The producers believe the film has the potential to resonate with the masses, making this collaboration a promising partnership.
"Mr. Bachchan" marks the third collaboration between Ravi Teja and director Harris Shankar, who previously delivered hits like "Mirapakay." Their combined expertise and understanding of Telugu cinema make this remake a highly anticipated project. The film promises an action-packed, emotionally charged story that explores the complexities of integrity and power.
