Telegu cinema’s biggest ever success came in the form of Telegu superstar Mahesh Babu starrer ‘Pokhiri’. The film is the biggest box office grosser for the 75 year old history of Telegu cinema. The film will now be remade in Hindi by Boney Kapoor who has bought the remake rights of the film.
Reportedly, the sum paid by Boney Kapoor to acquire the remake right is said to be the highest ever paid for making a remake of a film. The producer and director of Pokhiri, Puri Jagan, has sold the remaking rights of his film to Boney Kapoor for a handsome amount.
The Hindi remake of Pokhiri is slated to be directed by actor-choreographer-turned-director Prabhu Deva who also remade the Tamil version of the southern blockbuster. “I am sure Prabhu Deva will do full justice to it. He is a director of great calibre and did a wonderful interpretation of the film in Tamil. Besides he is a great friend to me, as much as Boney Kapoor,” said Puri Jagan, producer and director of the original version.
