Renowned Telugu director Harish Shankar has made a name for himself in the industry, but some critics are quick to label him as a ‘remake director’ due to his penchant for remaking films. Despite this, his track record of hits speaks for itself. Hits like Gabbar Singh, a remake of Dabangg, and Gaddalakonda Ganesh, a remake of Jigarthanda, have solidified his standing in Tollywood.
Now, his latest project, Mr Bachchan, a remake of the Hindi film Raid, is set to hit screens on August 15. Fans have been vocal about their desire to see Shankar tackle more original material, but the director remains undeterred. In response to one such fan’s plea, Shankar issued a challenge, confident that Mr Bachchan will offer a fresh perspective on the familiar story.
Starring Ravi Teja and Bhagyashree Bhorse, Mr Bachchan promises to deliver the essence of Raid while offering a unique viewing experience. Shankar’s unwavering passion for storytelling shines through in his work, and audiences can expect nothing less from his latest endeavor.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project. The countdown to August 15 has officially begun!
