Bollywood director Apoorva Lakhia shocks B town with his candid replies. Recently, the director gave an interview to the media and when questioned on his new project, the remake of Amitabh Bachchan's Zanjeer he said that there are no young action heroes in Bollywood today and he insists that the current Bollywood heroes are a metro sexual lot. At one point, he was looking for a young action hero and it was then he watched Ram Charan's Magadheera which made the director go crazy on the actor. Ram Charan is good-looking and proved his mettle as a action hero down south and that's enough for him to remake this classic with Charan as lead, he says.

Zanjeer will be launched on this April 20 and the regular shooting of the film will begin on the same day. The director has made some contemporary changes in the script and is going to deal with oil mafia and issues like journalist J Dey's killing and Sonavane Murder in this remake. It is worth mentioning that Ram Charan was first approached by Bollywood director Rajkumar Hirani for the lead role in the original as well as the southern remake of '3 Idiots', however, the actor honestly admitted that the role needs lot of acting skills and actors like Aamir Khan can only do justice to it.
