Ram Charan Zanjeer First Look

Ram Charan kickstarted the shooting of his debut Bollywood film ('Zanjeer' remake) on Wednesday. "In mumbai shooting for the first schedule of Zanjeer. Its a GRT team I'm working with. So please wish them all the best!!!," tweeted Charan.

Versatile actor Prakash Raj and bold beauty Mahie Gill were roped in to play pivotal roles in the film. The main female lead of the film is yet to be finalised. Although Priyanka Chopra was approached for the film, she hasn't given her consent yet. In the first schedule, the unit will shoot the portions sans the female lead.

Amitabh Bachchan, 'angry young man' of Bollywood, is expected to do a ameo in this remake. A whoofing budget of Rs. 70 crore has been riding on Charan and how he pulls it off is to be seen. Let's hope Charan lives up to the hype and delivers his best in the tough cop role!
