“I have acquired the rights for the story in Hindi and English as I found the concept exciting and very innovative. I’m sure it will be appreciated by fans across the world over,” says businessman-turned-film producer Ashok Kheny of AKK Media Limited, who seems to be keen on making interesting films for the fast evolving film audiences in India.
Kheny, we have learnt, has got a really good cast as well. “I will have Sudeep playing the same role that he is essaying in the Telugu original, that of the antagonist. I am looking at Shahid Kapoor to play the role of the protagonist in the film,” says Kheny, who wants to ensure that quality films and entertainment always find the right platform.
Kheny, who owns the Celebrity Cricket League Kannada cricket team, has Sudeep as the captain of the team and there is no doubt that the two share a good working relationship. That is probably why the two are taking their collaboration to the next level.
Kheny is currently also excited about Prasad, starring Arjun Sarja and Madhuri Bhattacharrya,a film that superstar Rajinikanth has seen as well. “When Rajini saw the film, he was floored by the performances and the story. He and I were to collaborate to produce a historical film. It has now been put on hold because of his ill health,” says Kheny.
