‘Magadheera’ has been a much ambitious project for Bollywood remake. Many of the heroes and directors were speculated to take up the big responsibility which SS Rajamouli successfully completed in Telugu making ‘Magadheera’ a memorable film for generations to remember. After the names of Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh etc expected for the male lead role, Shahid Kapoor finally bagged the offer from producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
Coming to picking up of director, names of Prabhu Deva and SS Rajamouli were discussed. Anyways finally, producer Sajid Nadiadwala has decided to don the director cap for himself. Into recent past, Nadiadwala directed Hindi remake of ‘Kick’ with Salman Khan which although collected good figures but did not impress the audience as much as it has done in Telugu. So, how far Sajid can live up to the standards of Rajamouli in recreation of socio fantasy is to be wait and seen.
