Actor
Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, renowned director VV Vinayak and Bollywood’s
successful production house Pen Studios are joining forces for a Bollywood
project which is an official remake of India’s leading director SS Rajamouli’s
blockbuster movie Chatrapathi.
The
yet to be titled mass action entertainer film has been launched today in a
grand ceremony in Hyderabad with the key team, Bellamkonda Sreenivas, VV
Vinayak, Dr. Jayantilal Gada, and few special guests including Rajamouli and
Sukumar gracing it. Rajamouli has sounded clapboard for the muhurtham shot,
while star Rama Rajamouli switched on the camera and producer AM Ratnam did the
honorary direction. The script has been handed over to the makers by Vijayendra
Prasad.
A
grand set is constructed in the same location of Rangasthalam village set and
the film’s regular and lengthy schedule commences from today.
Present
at the Muhurtham Dhaval Jayantilal Gada, Director at Pen Studios said, “We are
tremendously excited and thrilled as this is one of our grand projects along
with talented actor Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas and renowned Director VV Vinayak.
We are confident that this collaboration will be loved by the audience and will
make history in the Indian cinema.”
After
proving his mettle as one of the most happening stars of Tollywood, Bellamkonda
Sai Sreenivas who is well-known for North audiences is all set to make his
entry in Bollywood with this mega-budget venture. Bellamkonda will be stepping
into the shoes of ‘Baahubali’ fame Prabhas. Tollywood’s mass director VV
Vinayak who has numerous blockbusters to his credit in Telugu is also set to make
his debut in Bollywood with this project.
Rajamouli’s
father KV Vijayendra Prasad who penned the story for the original is the writer
for the remake version as well. Known as a writer for blockbuster Hindi films
such as Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Manikarnika, he made few changes to the script
according to the tastes and sensibilities of Hindi audiences.
Known
for making critically acclaimed and commercially successful movies, the film is
presented by Dr. Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios) and produced by Dhaval Gada and
Aksshay Gada. Worldwide Distribution will be by Pen Marudhar Cine
Entertainment. Pen studios will be making the film on a grand scale without
compromising on the budget.
These
four forces are coming together to translate this project into a magnum opus.
