Actor
Ram
Charan
Teja
is
all
set
to
start
shooting
for
the
remake
of
1974
Hindi
classic
Zanjeer
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Jaya
Bachchan
in
the
leads.
Before
beginning
the
filming,
the
Telugu
star
met
Bollywood
megastar
at
a
studio
in
Mumbai
and
sought
his
blessing
for
the
movie.
Thrilled
Ram
Charan
Teja
took
to
his
Twitter
page
to
share
his
excitement
over
meeting
Bollywood
icon
Amitabh
Bachchan
yesterday.
The
Magadheera
actor
wrote,
“Just
met
AB
sir,
took
his
blessings..
And
NOW
zanjeer
begins..yay!
(sic).”
Zanjeer
had
become
a
super-hit
movie
by
collecting
Rs
6
crores
at
the
Box
Office
in
1974.
This
film
changed
the
trend
from
romantic
films
to
action
films.
It
also
pioneered
Amitabh
Bachchan's
new
image
of
a
brooding
but
explosive
person,
who
fights
back
when
cornered.
Big
B
was
known
as
'The
Angry
Young
Man'.
The
new
version
of
Zanjeer
will
be
a
bilingual
project
that
will
be
made
in
Telugu
and
Hindi.
Ram
Charan
Teja
will
play
the
male
lead
that
was
originally
reprised
by
Amitabh,
while
Priyanka
Chopra
will
essay
the
character
of
Jaya
Bachchan.
With
this,
Ram
Charan
Teja
will
debut
in
Bollywood,
while
Priyanka
enters
Tollywood.
