Hrithik or Aamir in Telugu remake?

The producers of Hindi Ghajini – Allu Aravind and Madhu Mantena – are considering a remake of the Ram Charan Teja starrer Maghadeera in Hindi. The duo are reportedly working on it and trying to obtain the dates of Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan, sources say.


Speaking to the IANS, Mantena said, “Yes Allu Aravind and I are remaking Magadheera in Hindi. As for the cast, it’s too early to talk about it. But Magadheera is definitely being planned to be bigger than Ghajini”


It is worth a mention here that in the original, Ram Charan Teja played a dual role, while in the remake two different heroes are being roped in. Wonder what the producers have in mind.

Peter Haynes: Stunts should be fantastic

Though said in a lighter vein, it is also a fact  that producers sign Peter Haynes before finalizing the star cast. It is no trade secret that top actors insist on the mandatory presence of this stunt master par excellence and the numbers are increasing with action movies becoming the order of the day.
For Peter, the real challenge is in period films where a lot of homework has to be done regarding the weapons used and the kind of fights prevalent then. Peter said his creative side was tested to the brim in the recent Telugu hit Magadheera, which had a huge background of historic relevance.
Without subscribing to the view that every storyline needs a fight sequence, Peter says fight sequences must by grand and worth remembering. When movies are all about grandeur in the songs, why should there be a compromise in the fights, Peter asks with justification. “You have to accept that movies are an exaggerated versions transporting the audience to a different world. In the three hours they surrender to us, we have a job to please them and in a magnitude depending on the budget,” says Peter without batting an eyelid.
Indian producers are not out seeking the Hollywood flavour; they come to him for the quality he provides, avers Peter. “I too worked with in a few Hollywood films and am richer by that on all counts,” says Peter with honesty.
Peter did not reveal much on Endhiran except the nugget that being a superstar movie, the fights had to have that extra zing and style. “I Know my work on the screen is appreciated when audiences shriek with delight seeing their heroes bashing the baddies,” said Peter with a smile.
