Eega

Eega (Makkhi) director S S Rajamouli is all set to finally break into Hindi films. In a candid chat with MovieChakkar, he discusses his future plans and why he disapproves of remakes. Excerpts: <strong>Is it true after <em>Makkhi</em> you’ve finally decided to take the plunge into making a Hindi film? </strong>

Producer of the Telugu film Eega Suresh Babu has yet to take a decision on making the Hindi version of the animation film in 3D. Though Babu admits that distributors of the Hindi version want the film to be converted into 3D, he is averse to the whole thing. “The tests are going on but we are yet to take a final call, moreover we have to see whether it makes economic sense,” avers Babu.

The Telugu maverick director S S Rajmouli releases his Telugu smasher Eega in a Hindi, 3D version done specially for the Hindi release around Diwali. Interestingly, <em>Son Of Sardaar</em> is a remake of Rajmouli’s other Telugu superhit <em>Maryada Ramanna</em>. So essentially Rajmouli would be competing with himself this Diwali. But the question now is would the Rajmouli remake be able to stand up to the unexpected competition from the Rajmouli original?
