The buzz is that Upendra will feature in the remake of Kick, to be helmed by Indrajit Lankesh For over two years, it was believed that Kichcha Sudeep would star in the remake of
Ravi Teja's hit Kick in Kannada. After all, Sudeep has in the past, successfully remade Ravi's Vikramarkudu as Veera Madhakari.
But it now appears that Sudeep, who is slated to start work on Shashank's Bachchan and a P Harsha film once he finishes work on Varadhanayaka, and is also believed to be directing a project at the moment, will not after all do Kick.
According to the latest buzz in
Gandhinagar, the remake has now been offered to Upendra, to be directed by Indrajit Lankesh.
"Yes, I have been offered to direct Kick with Upendra, but it has not been finalized yet. After the BO failure of my earlier film, I am still trying to figure out what I should do next - what the public wants onscreen or what I want? The problem with remaking Kick is that it is being made in Hindi too, with
Salman Khan and that film will be made on a much larger scale. Naturally, comparisons will be made, so I am still undecided whether to do it or not," says Indrajit.
