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.

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.
