Ace
director
SS
Rajamouli,
who
wrote
a
history
at
the
box-office
with
Magadheera,
is
all
set
to
remake
the
film
in
Bollywood.
He
has
chosen
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Katrina
Kaif
for
the
lead
roles,
which
were
played
by
Ram
Charan
Teja
and
Kajal
Aggarwal
in
the
original.
It
is
reported
that
SS
Rajamouli
was
keen
to
cast
Aamir
Khan
in
the
lead
role.
He
approached
him
last
month
to
discuss
about
the
film
but
the
actor,
who
saw
the
movie,
refused
to
act
in
the
film,
as
he
felt
that
the
role
does
not
fit
him.
Later,
Rajamouli
offered
the
role
to
Hrithik
Roshan
but
he
also
turned
down
the
proposal.
After
considering
biggies,
SS
Rajamouli
finally
zeroed
in
on
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
roped
in
Katrina
Kaif
to
play
his
love
interest
for
the
epic
tale.
It
may
be
recalled
that
their
chemistry
has
worked
well
in
their
earlier
movies
Raajneeti
and
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani.
However,
Allu
Aravind,
who
produced
the
original
version,
is
producing
jointly
with
Madhu
Mantena.
