Upendra is shooting for his new venture that was launched with fanfare last month. And he promises not to disappoint Kannada, Telugu and Tamil fans.

“I am introducing 20 new artists in the film. The audition itself was the most exciting. Some of them will be seen in all the three languages. If I can prove to all of you that I have made efforts to present a different film, it would be a great victory for me,” he said.

The film’s heroine Nayantara and other artists are joining him for the shoot here.

“I am most worried about the huge expectations built around this film. We will be shooting for more than one hundred days. Some portions of the film will be re-shot for the Telugu and Tamil versions of the film with a particular set of artists belonging to the Telugu and Tamil film industries,” Upendra told IANS.

Siddique’s Malayalam movie Bodyguard has become a hit in Kerala. Dileep and Nayantara are the lead pair in the movie. It’s an out and out comedy movie with little action.

Siddique is remaking the film in Tamil with Vijay. The shooting of Tamil Bodyguard will start in April. Boney Kapoor who recently gave a hit with Wanted which is a remake of Pokiri is in the race of buying the rights for Bollywood.

Few Telugu Film Producers have also seen the film and are talking to Siddique about buying the remake rights. A big producer who is known for remaking movies in telugu is planning to do this movie with Raviteja.
Let’s wait and see who will win the race.
