Why is it that a tri-lingual ‘Businessman’ of Mahesh Babu hasn’t got even a Hindi version ready for release? With Mahesh Fans repeatedly requesting their Star Hero for a Bollywood entry, what could be the best time than this New Year and who could be the best director other than Puri to give Mahesh a better launch pad? Yes, here is an inner Film Nagar gossip which exposed some sort of truth behind ‘Businessman.’
Earlier before starting of this project, Puri was desperate to make Abhishek Bachchan become hero of the Hindi version of ‘Businessman.’ Due to other reasons, he opted to stay out thus giving way for Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam to go ahead. What is the reason that Puri didn't try Mahesh for Bollywood version too? The actual reason is that storyline and narration of ‘Businessman’ was too much inspired from Big B’s revenge drama of ‘Agneepath.’ While Hrithik Roshan and Karan Johar are already on the task of remaking the same, wisely Junior B well left the offer making Puri to think twice. Now, one has to wait and see who will fare better…will it be ‘Businessman’ in Telugu or ‘Agneepath’ in Hindi releasing around the same time?
