Filmmaker Boney Kapoor is set to produce the remake of hit Telugu film "Okkadu" and has roped in son Arjun Kapoor to play the lead. It will go on floors next year.
"Yes, I am making the remake of Telugu film 'Okkadu'. Eros has bought the rights of this film. I can't reveal the details of it right now. Once things fall in place, I can talk about it," Boney told IANS.
"The film will go on floors in June 2013. Arjun is busy with other projects including 'Aurangazeb', 'Gundey' and '2 States'. Once he is done with these films, he will start shooting for the remake," he added.
Boney is yet to decide on the leading lady and the director of this film.
"The leading lady is not yet finalized. I will be able to talk about it after two weeks. Once I get the clarity and I can say who will be directing the film and who will be the leading lady. Right now it's too early to talk about anything," he said.
Directed by Gunasekhar, the 2003 Telugu film featured Mahesh Babu, Bhumika Chawla and Prakash Raj.

i loved the tamil version of the film - but somehow i don't feel like these films translate well into hindi, unless they give the remake of okkadu a rural backdrop....then it could work :)
i actually think arjun fits the bill....AND I HOPE THEY KEEP PRAKASH RAJ - HE IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THE MOVIE. and his line "HI CHELLAM! I LOVE YOU!" is soooooo famous! hahaha///
totally agree.. Prakash Raj was epic in dat movie.. gilli is probably the only movie of vijay dat i like !!!
He has bagged some really good & big projects so Good Luck to him!!!
Trust me, this guy looks nothing like an actor. He look like one of those villians. His role in films should be the Crook.
My gosh...did someone really had the guts to think Anushka for the role done superbly by Sridevi....she neither has the beauty nor acting skills ....PERIOD

finally they found someone other than salman to remake blockbuster telugu movies. hope arjun atleast justice to that role
Okkadu was remade in Tamil as Ghilli with Vijay and Trisha in the lead. It was also a huge hit in Tamil... so it might do well in Hindi but I don't know about Arjun Kapoor playing the lead.
So handsome. Even more so with a little stubble.
It's not like Wanted. Wanted was a time pass film with no story. Okkadu is a great film with a good story. I gotta say Arjun Kapoor is bagging some good films.
Wow that is quite a line up Arjun has.....and on the other hand poor Parneeti. Not fair, waiting to see her again.
Oh now, are they going to remake all Mahesh films lol!!
Okkadu was a terrific movie, mostly coz of Mahesh, he's a huge star down south and this film was he's breakthrough. However I don't think it would work the same with hindi audience, Arjun doesn't fit the character, someone like Ranbir would be better..but go figure, there's nothing but remakes these days.
I read Okkadu movie review in telegu it was HIT but if this film will be made in hindi than it will be Super-Flop..Indian people won't like this subject..its more or less like Wanted...won't work..a bit No No..else Boney has roped Arjun in Mr. India - Part 2 as Anil's role and Sridevi's role played by Anushka Sharma.will be SUPERHIT!!!
