With Eega rocking the BO in the South, speculation on the Hindi avatar of the movie has been rife. While some went to the extent of saying that Abhishek Bachchan would be essaying Nani’s role, others claimed the film would be remade in 3D. However, director SS Rajamouli rubbishes all these rumours, but confirms that he is working on the Hindi dubbed version of the movie.
Talking to Hyderabad Times Rajamouli said, “We will be releasing Makkhi, the Hindi version of Eega, in a month’s time.” When asked if he had approached Abhishek Bachchan to play Nani’s role, he categorically stated, “We have not approached Abhishek or any actor in the Hindi film industry. There will be no 3D version, but we are making a few changes to suit Hindi audiences. In Telugu, the fly dances to Chiranjeevi and other Tollywood star songs, but in its Bollywood avatar, it will groove to Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan hits.” And precisely which songs will the makkhi be dancing to? To that producer Suresh Babu says, “For Salman’s moves, we would like to take a song from Dabangg or Bodyguard. We have to see which song best suits the movements of our fly.”
