It’s confirmed, Salman Khan to star in Kanchana remake

As we reported earlier, Salman Khan will star in the remake of bilingual film Kanchana. The actor has given his nod to act in the proposed project, thereby he has continued his recent trend of taking successful South movies to Bollywood.

Salman"s brother Sohail Khan has admitted that the Dabangg star will act in the Hindi version of Kanchana. He says that their planned film Sher Khan has been postponed. Hence, they are taking up this movie. It is reported that Sohail himself will direct the film.

The Hindi version of Kanchana will reportedly take off in December and will be released for 2012 Eid. Other details about the project are under wraps.

It may be recalled that Salman Khan has recently remade successfully Telugu movies like Pokkiri, Ready, Vikramarkudu and currently he is busy in the remake of Kick.

However, despite getting poor reviews, Kanchana has become one of the hits of 2011. The story of the film is about an Achluophobic patient, who accidentally lands in a devil's trap. The movie starred Raghava Lawrence, Sarath Kumar and Lakshmi Rai in the lead roles.
