Puri Jagannadh wishes to remake THIS Mahesh Babu film in Hindi

Ace filmmaker Puri Jagannadh is best known for his films like Pokiri, Temper and more. He is currently gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated action drama, Liger. The movie features Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday in lead roles. The Pan India film is releasing on August 25, in multiple Indian languages. In an interview, the filmmaker revealed his wish to remake a Mahesh Babu starrer in Hindi.

He expressed his desire of remaking Mahesh Babu starrer cult film Businessman in Hindi. Puri Jagannadh feels that the hero’s character has got a lot of scope and also as it is more of a dialogue-based film.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, the filmmaker said, “I really want to remake Mahesh Babu starrer Businessman. The hero’s character has a lot of scopes. It’s a dialogue-based film and I feel, it would have great potential in the Hindi belts. I hope, I get a chance to rework the idea and make it for the Hindi audience soon.” says Puri.

He added, “Businessman can easily be turned into a franchise. There’s so much more that I can do with the character. Same for Pokiri as well. I had an idea for part 2 of both the films in the early 2010s, but then, Mahesh sir was busy with other films. We never discussed the sequels then and hence, both films never took off.”
