Confirmed: Shahid Kapoor to star in Magadheera remake!

Producer turned director Sajid Nadiadwala revealed that Haider actor will play the lead in his second directorial venture

After making his directorial debut with Salman Khan‘s Kick and tasting tremendous success, Sajid Nadiadwala is all set to start working on his second flick. No, it is not a sequel to Kick as fans would have liked. Instead, Sajid would be remaking the Ram Charan Teja- Kajal Aggarwal’s 2007 Telugu blockbuster Magadheera .

Earlier the lead role was rumoured to be bagged by Hrithik Roshan, but the latest reports suggested that Haider star Shahid Kapoor might be cast as the protagonist. Clearing the air around his film, Nadiadwala confirmed that Shahid would indeed be reprising Ram Charan Teja’s role in the Hindi remake.

The Kick director is yet to confirm the leading lady for the film and is currently working on the script of the Magadheera remake. With Shahid’s prior commitments to Vikas Bahl’s Shaandar, Raj and Krishna DK’s Farji and Abhishek Chaubey’s untitled project, it looks like fans would have to wait for quite some time to see Haider actor in a warrior avatar for the remake.
