Action Drama Chatrapathi is a special film in Rebel Star Prabhas’s career. The SS Rajamouli’s directorial gave a big push to Prabhas’s mass image. The film became a huge hit and was remade in many other languages. Prabhas’ characterization was loved by his fans and movie lovers as well.
After around one and a half decades, Chatrapathi is being remade in Bollywood. Usually, Hindi heroes do the remakes there. But as a big change in the trend, Telugu hero Bellamkonda Sreenivas is acting as the lead in the remake film and the remake also makes his Bollywood debut.
Though the remake was announced in a big way, it was delayed a few times. The shoot is going on and the latest news is that the remake might hit the theatres in Summer this year. The remaining work is being ramped up so that the film can be readied for release.
No big Bollywood films are coming for the Summer and that’s why the makers believe that they can encash the absence of big films. However, there is no official information on this and we will get clarity on this once the makers talk about this.
It is known that it is Bellamkonda Sreenivas’s debut film and he wants to taste a big success. This could be the reason behind the makers allegedly aiming for the Summer season. South films are seeing big success in Bollywood of late, thanks to the Pan-India trend. The same might work for the remake.
Bellamkonda Sreenivas is playing the lead role in the remake of mass entertainer Chatrapathi. Bollywood actress Nushrratt Bharuccha has been roped in to play the lead role. The film has an ensemble cast of Sahil Vaid, Amit Nair, Rajendra Gupta, Shivam Patil, Vedika, and Swapnil. Tanishik Bacchi is scoring the music.
Mumbai-based entertainment company Pen India Limited, which got the theatrical rights of SS Rajamouli’s RRR in the northern states, is bankrolling the film in collaboration with Pen Marudhar Cine Entertainment. The shoot is said to have reached the final leg and the makers are expected to drop further updates at the earliest.
