Pokkiri to be made in Kannada too

Prince of Telugu film industry, Mahesh Babu is back after a long gap of about two years, since his last film was Athidi in 2007. Mahesh Babu's next movie will be with hit director Trivikram. The film is currently titled as Varudu, but it is heard that the title might be changed in the future. Producer Singanamala Ramesh is making the movie on Kanaka Ratna Movies banner.

Now the striking news about Mahesh Babu is that his one of the biggest career hit film Pokkiri is now going to be remade for the fourth time. Original Pokkiri that featured Mahesh Babu and Illeana was a smashing hit in Tollywood. Then it was later remade to Kollywood with Illaya thalapathy Vijay and Asin donning the lead roles. The result was an even bigger hit that created a path for it's inmates to remake it into Bollywood.

The Bollywood version of the Pokkiri, which is titled as Wanted Dead or Alive will feature Salman Khan and Ayesha Talkia in the lead roles and was directed by Prabhu Deva, the director of Tamil version too. Now the fourth edition of Pokkiri is going to be made in Kannada, with Kannada's rising star Darshan in the lead role. The film is now standing second to Amitabh Bachchan starrer Don, for the most number of remakes. Don was remade 5 times and Pokkiri is currently standing at 4.

With the film Pokkiri, that is creating waves all around the Indian film industry, Tollywood has all the rights to be proud because it all is due to one man - Puri Jaganath. He was the director of the original movie. Let's wish just like in Kollywood and Tollywood, the saga of the film Pokkiri can hold on in Bollywood and Kannada film industry.

Illeana demands Nayan's salary!!!!!

Our Ilayathalapathy Vijay wanted to cast Ileana as his heroine for a long time.

Finally, it looks like it is happening. She is almost certain to be his heroine in AVM Balasubramaniam's new film Vettaikaranto be directed by debutant Babu Sivan, a former assistant of Dharani.

Ileana has done just one film in TamiKD which bombed, however she has a couple of hits in Telugu like Pokkiri with Mahesh Babu.

She is said to be a lucky star, and her demand it seems is that she should be paid her market rate in Telugu which is said to be around Rs 1.25 crore!

So is Ileana now on par with Nayan, as far as her salary is concerned?

Illeana opposite Vijay in ‘Vettaikaran’????

After completing ‘Villu’, Vijay will shoot for the movie ‘Vettaikaran’, a title inspired by yesteryear MGR hit.

‘Vettaikaran’ would be directed by Babu Sivan, an associate of director Dharani. To be produced by AVM Balasubramaniam, the movie is touted to be an action-packed entertainer, quite typical of Vijay film.

Sources close to the project say Ileana would be playing the female lead in the movie. The sought-after heroine in Tollywood, Ileana made her debut in Tamil with ‘Kedi’. She managed to render a string of successful movies in Telugu establishing herself as a numero uno actress there.

Efforts were made to bring her back to Tamil cinema. But all ended in vain. Buzz is that AVM has managed to convince her to make a comeback in Tamil with ‘Vettaikaran’.
