Bollywood's
angry
young
man
Amitabh
Bachchan
is
all
set
to
make
his
appearance
on
Kannada
screen
after
a
decade.
The
actor,
who
was
seen
himself
in
Kannada's
romantic
movie
Amruthadhare,
will
be
playing
an
important
role
in
Sandalwood's
forthcoming
movie
Kabira.
Kabira
is
the
hagiographical
movie,
which
features
Sandalwood
King
Shivaraj
Kumar
in
the
lead
role.
The
movie
is
the
biopic
of
mystic
poet
and
saint
Kabira
of
15th
century.
Earlier,
Kannada's
cultural
icon
Dr
Rajkumar
had
also
done
the
biopic
on
Saint
Kabira
in
1962,
which
was
titled
as
Mahatma
Kabira.
The
movie,
which
was
directed
by
P
Srinivas
was
produced
by
TN
Reddy.
Apart
from
Annavru,
the
movie
also
had
Krishnakumari
and
Paapamma
in
the
lead
roles.
Rajkumar
was
appreciated
by
mass
for
his
performance
in
the
movie.
However,
Shivanna's
new
movie
Kabira
is
reportedly
the
remake
of
old
movie
Mahatma
Kabir
for
which
Amitabh
has
been
approached
to
play
Kabir's
teacher
role.
Shivaraj
Kumar
will
be
seen
in
the
same
shade,
in
which
Rajkumar
was
seen
in
the
old
movie.
Narendra
Babu,
who
is
directing
Kabira
is
yet
to
finalise
the
remaining
casts
for
other
significant
roles
of
the
movie.
Shivaraj
Kumar,
who
is
basking
in
the
success
of
Kaddi
Pudi
and
Bhajarangi,
is
presently
shooting
for
Aryan
with
Sandalwood
Queen
Ramya.
