The actor has apparently chosen the Hindi remake of AR Murugadoss' Tamil superhit, over Gautham Menon's cop film
After much speculation over what film Shah Rukh Khan will pick between the remake of Tamil blockbusters Ramana and Vettiyadu Villayadu, looks as if he has finally made his choice. Buzz is that the actor has given his word for AR Murgadoss's Ramana where he's going to play a good professor fighting for the reason for justice.
Says a source, "SRK was in a dilemma between Menon and Murugadoss's films, as they both came mutually and both had an overly strong plotline. However, since Murugadoss's last Hindi film Ghajini was a blockbuster, he had an edge over Menon."
Interestingly, the film, that's being produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali have been at the cards for some time. Apparently Bhansali have been meeting the star off and on for narrations, because he believes SRK would fit the role to the T. Adds the source, "The role is that of a typical man who takes at the corrupt system.
Shah Rukh hasn't ever played an element like that before and it kind of feels like a movie as a way to have an actual connect to the audience." Apparently some of the reasons he opted out of Gautam Menon's film was the truth that he didn't want to play a cop.
Adds the source, "Both his rivals Aamir and Salman are arising with cop films, and he didn't didn't wish to sign up for gang. He was in search of something strong yet sensitive, and this appeared like the very best choice." SRK who's shooting in London at the present time is predicted to sign the film officially once he's back.
Ramana was a superhit in Tamil and successful in Telugu and Murugadoss was in talks for a remake for the past three years.
