Young filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who has hit a goldmine last year by making his directorial debut with ‘Arjun Reddy’, has found himself in a strange dilemma concerning the film’s Hindi remake.
Narrating his ordeal to a leading national media house, Sandeep reportedly said that he approached Shahid Kapoor after his first choice, Ranveer Singh refused to act in the remake. ‘I met Shahid Kapoor and discussed the project in detail. He was very interested and I thought I found my hero for Bollywood remake.
All of a sudden, the film’s remake rights changed hands, and now I’ve been asked to make the film with Arjun Kapoor in lead. I am not sure if it’s right to direct the film with another actor after I’ve discussed the film with Shahid Kapoor. I am in an embarrassing situation now,” Sandeep revealed.
The director added that if at all he has to direct Arjun Kapoor in the Bollywood remake, he has laid a condition, ‘Arjun Kapoor should lose 20 kgs to play the protagonist’. Sandeep clearly stated that either he wants Shahid or his condition to be fulfilled (Arjun should lose 20 kgs), otherwise he expressed his willingness to quit the remake.
Arjun Kapoor may not agree to shed so much weight. Let’s see who compromise in the end.
