“Wanted” is a Tamil remake of “Pokkiri”

Mumbai, August 24: The south Indian flick “Pokkiri” proved itself a block buster hit in Tamil. Now its Hindi remake in Bollywood “Wanted”, starring muscle man Salman Khan and cute Ayesha Takia is already set to release on silver screen.

“Michael Jackson” of Bollywood, actor and dancer Prabhu Dev has directed the Tamil version, and also directed its Hindi version too.

Being directing his first movie in Hindi version wasn’t easy for Prabhu Deva. He felt a high pressure factor during the shoots. “The expectations of these audiences are much higher and one has to cater to a wider range of cultures,” revealed Prabhu Deva on his first experience in Hindi.

Prabhu Deva as giving his comments for the delay of his forthcoming flick that he did not want to blame anyone for the delay instead praising the lead pair, he revealed, “Keeping the tastes of Hindi audiences in mind, I made a lot of changes from the original in the song and comedy sequences. Directing a talented dancer like Ayesha and the cooperative Salman Khan made my job easier.”
