Simbu wants Sonam, rejects Kajal Agarwal

As usual this Silambarasan film too is creating anxieties even before it is officially launched. The Tamil remake of the Hindi blockbuster ‘Dabangg’ is keeping its hero Silambarasan on the edge.
 
Apparently Silambarasan has rejected the choice of Kajal Agarwal as the heroine. Sources say Silambarasan is looking for a top heroine from Bollywood and extra efforts are taken on his behalf to convince Sonam Kapoor to sign on the dotted line.
 
Kajal Agarwal who is making her grand debut in Bollywood with ‘Singam’ remake opposite Ajay Devgan, is still finding it difficult to get a strong foothold in Kollywood.
 
Meanwhile the director who will direct the ‘Dabangg’ remake is also finalized… well almost. The last news that came in on this regard says the ‘Dhool’ ‘Ghilli’ Dharani will wield the megaphone. Dharani’s big budget Telugu project titled ‘Merupu’ with Ram Charan Teja has been dropped and the director is available.

Srikant, Kajal to share screen with Pawan Kalyan

A real hero is the one who doesn’t crumble with a defeat and tries his best to resurrect and prove himself. Power Star Pawan Kalyan appears to have been following the same principle.

Though ‘Puli’ was proved a disaster, he did not cave-in and started accepting films one after the other and is planning to release at least three films this year.

Besides, he ventured into production too and launched his own banner Pawan Kalyan Creative Works. He is planning to remake recent Bollywood hit film ‘Dabang’ into Telugu as ‘Gabbar Singh’ under the direction of Harish Shankar of ‘Mirapakay’-fame.

While Pawan Kalyan is going to portray the role played by Salman Khan, while Srikanth was selected to play the role of Arbaaz Khan. Kajal, who gained the stardom with Mega Power Star Ram Charan, was selected to share the screen with Power Star donning the character played Sonakshi Sinha.

Yuvan Shankar Raja is scoring the music.

Harish Shankar to direct Power Star

Power Star Pawan Kalyan is getting ready to produce a film on his own banner Pawan Kalyan Creative Works. The movie would be a remake of a Bollywood’s sensational hit film ‘Dabang’ and it was titled as ‘Gabbar Singh’.

Harish Shankar, who gave a hit like ‘Mirapakay’ with Raviteja during the Sankranti season this year would wield the megaphone for the movie.

Speaking about the film, Pawan Kalyan says, ‘This is the debut film on our banner. The film is being made with an inspiration from Dabang and I am playing the role of a powerful police officer Gabbar Singh. In fact, myself and Harish Shankar were supposed to do one film earlier but he narrated me some stories including the ‘Mirapakay’. I was impressed with his narration. When I thought of remaking ‘Dabang’, it just struck my mind that Harish only could do justice to the film. We will take the film to the sets very soon and we are planning to release the film during this year itself.’

Director Harish Shankar says, ‘The film would be made with high technical values and at the same time, it would have all kinds of commercial elements that could attract the fans of Pawan Kalyan besides the regular audiences. We will come up with more details very soon.’
