Shah Rukh Khan Agrees To Star In South Remake?

The South remake bug seems to have bitten all the three Khans of Bollywood now. After Aamir Khan and Salman Khan went the 'South' route with Ghajini and Wanted respectively, it now seems that the Badshaah of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan also wants to follow suit.

Sources claim that director-producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali has acquired rights of the 2002 hit Tamil flick Ramanaa and Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly agreed to be a part of the project. It seems that after Rowdy Rathore, Bhansali wasn't too keen on remaking another South flick, but after he saw Ramanaa at the insistence of a friend, he was absolutely impressed with the subject, which has a very strong anti-corruption message and decided to acquire the rights. Moreover, Ghajini director A. R. Murugadoss has confirmed that he will be directing the Hindi remake.

Incidentally, the Tamil film Ramanaa starring Vijaykanth was later remade in Telugu with Chiranjeevi in the lead.
