Ram Gopal Varma to make ‘The Businessman’ in Hindi
MUMBAI: The Hindi remake of the Telugu hit, The Businessman, will be produced and directed by Ram Gopal Varma.
The project is now being given a Hindi touch and is being planned on a far bigger scale than the original.
The Businessman featured Mahesh Babu and was directed by Puri Jagannadh who had earlier directed the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Buddha Hoga Tera Baap.
“Ramu is producing the Hindi version of The Businessman and directing it too. Have already done whatever I could with plot and screenplay of The Businessman. Would be interesting to see what Ramu does to the story in Hindi,” said Jagannadh.
In fact it was Puri who had asked Varma to take over the project that was accepted by the latter. The Businessman had turned out to be a Telugu blockbuster.
