MUMBAI: Who can forget the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Zanjeer made way back in 1973?

Last year rumours were afloat about the remake of the film. Most of them said that the late Prakash Mehra’s production house, Prakash Mehra Productions, would go ahead to produce the remake.

But now it has been confirmed that the remake would be produced by Reliance Big Entertainment and directed by Apoorva Lakhia.

And to reprise the role played by Amitabh Bachchan in the original, the producers have roped in Telugu star Ram Charan Teja. The film will be made in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously.

The film is expected to roll out in April.
