Amitab praises Charan

Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan and Tollywood megastar Chiranjeevi always maintained good relations and they have respect for each other. Now, Big B has conveyed his best wishes to his dearest friend's Son Ram Charan who is debuting into Hindi Film Industry with a remake of yesteryear hit 'Zanjeer.

"Charan is a very successful star in his own right in Telugu cinema, he is the son of superstar Chiranjeevi, a dear friend. I met them and wished them well. I do hope they will make a successful film,"

The legendary actor says he takes it (the remake of his film 'Zanjeer', which was a smash hit in 1973) as a compliment. "It is a compliment to the film being remade. How many films do carry the benefit of a remake, is what needs to be appreciated also," he opined. The original film 'Zanjeer' made Amitabh the angry young man of Hindi cinema. Getting into the shoes of Big B in a iconic film willn't be a cake walk for Charan. Let's hope luck favours him!

This is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia and it is heard that as soon as Charan landed in Mumbai, Lakhia took him to the best salon in the city and got a total crew cut done for him. Apparently, Cherry is essaying the role of a cop so Lakhia wanted the look to be real. And another update has also arrived.
