Ram Charan's Bollywood debut in legal tangle

Mega powerstar Ram Charan Tej has now taken off with the shooting of his debut venture in Bollywood. This is the remake of 'Zanjeer' and now it is heard that the film is facing the threat of legal action. The reason for that are the original writers of the film Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar.

Sources say the duo has consulted and hired a team of lawyers to proceed with legal action on the film. They are demanding that they are entitled for royalty since it was their story and claim that they gave the rights only to make it once which happened in the year 1974.

They are miffed that the producer of Charan's film Amit Mehra has not given a proper answer to their financial demand and declared that he got the clearance. For now, the shooting is happening without any hiccups but once the legal notices are slapped then it could land the project in trouble.

Chiranjeevi's son is very great!

Ram Charan has registered yet another big hit with Racha, which is poised to enter the top 3 list of all times hits of Telugu cinema. Charan already holds the number 1 film record and with Racha he proved that he can be a super power at the box office without any help of any well known director. Charan's talent was spotted by Bollywood director Apoorva Lakhia and he is introducing him to B town with the film Zanjeer.

This is a remake of Amitabh's yesteryear's hit Zanjeer that earned him the angry young man image. Apoorva had a choice of approaching Abhishek Bachan to play the lead role in it. The director is a very good friend of Abhishek and he would have been a good choice to remake an Amitabh's film. But Apoorva felt that only Ram Charan could be the new angry young man of Bollywood. The director and producer are taking a huge risk by roping in Charan, because he is a new face in Bollywood and it would have been easy for them to do good business if they do this film with any known Hindi actor.

But the director says that he couldn't visualize anyone other than Charan in this role. This is an honor to a Telugu actor. Even Chiranjeevi didn't command such respect from the Bollywood industry. Today Charan is getting a whopping price for doing this role. When a Bollywood superstar's son couldn't fit into his father's shoes, a Tollywood megastar's son filling those shoes is something that is extraordinary. Great going Cherry!

Ram Charan Surprises Zanjeer Team

Mega powerstar Ram Charan Tej has taken the bold step by foraying into Bollywood and this is happening through the remake of the movie Zanjeer. Now, the big question for many is- can Charan speak fluent Hindi. Well, it is heard that the young superstar has already made his preparations.

Buzz is that his character is being etched in such a way that most of the time his silence would convey what he wants to say. Of course, it is heard that Charan is fluent in Hindi but without taking a chance he has begun to have few tutorials in that language. It is heard that Ram Charan speaking flawless Hindi surprised the whole Zanjeer team.

Charan would be pairing up with the pout lipped beauty Priyanka Chopra and though the theme would be the same as the original, it is heard that the backdrop is going to change completely in tune with today's times. Charan has also taken the blessings of legend Amitabh Bachchan who did the lead role in the original.

Director gives New Look for Charan

Mega powerstar Ram Charan Tej has landed in Mumbai and he has begun the ground work for his debut movie in Bollywood, the remake of the yesteryears hit ‘Zanjeer’. The original had legend Amitabh Bachchan teaming up with the veteran Pran and many stated that the actor essaying the role of Pran would be important for the remake.

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.

Earlier, it was mentioned that the deadly Sanjay Dutt would reprise the role of Pran but now his place has been taken by the chiseled stud Arjun Rampal. Sources say the important crux of the film is the crucial fight between Charan and Arjun which is being planned on a very ambitious note.
