Mumbai, October 6: Renowned Telugu film director S S Rajamouli, whose one of the superhit films 'Magadheera' is set to be remade in Hindi, says actor Hrithik Roshan would be the "best choice" to play the lead role in the Hindi version.

'Magadheera' is a 2009 Telugu historical drama directed by Rajamouli. The film starring Ram Charan Teja and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles, was a huge hit down south.

The film is now set to be remade in Hindi by filmmaker-producer Anurag Kashyap, who has bought the film's rights. The story is supposed to be produced by Phantom (a company helmed by Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Madhu Mantena and Vikramaditya Motwane).

It was earlier reported that Ranveer Singh might do the film.

When asked, who, according to him would be fit to play the lead role, Rajamouli said, "It is a massy film and I think anyone can suit as a hero. But I think Hrithik Roshan is the best choice."

There was a buzz that the makers were to rope in director Abhinay Deo of 'Delhi Belly' fame, but nothing has been finalised as yet.

Rajamouli also sounded reluctant to re-direct the Hindi remake. "I have almost spent two years making 'Magadheera' and now I can't spend another two years to make it again in Hindi."

However, the Telugu film director expressed a desire to direct a Bollywood film.

"I am eagerly looking forward to do it (a Bollywood film). But I have commitments down south. If anything interesting comes up, then why not.

"I will soon direct a Hindi film," he said without divulging any further details.


Meanwhile, Rajamouli is looking forward to the release of the Hindi version -- 'Makkhi' of his own Telugu blockbuster film 'Eega'. The fictional film was released in Telugu on July 6, while the Hindi part will release on October 12.

Mumbai, Jul 6: Mumbai Police on Monday recorded the statement of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

The director arrived at Bandra Police Station on Monday morning to give his statement.

As per reports, late actor Sushant was approached by Bhansali for his 2013 film "Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela". However, Sushant could not take up the offer reportedly due to his contract with a production house. Later Ranveer Singh was signed for the role. The female lead was played by Deepika Padukone and the film turned out to be a commercial success.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police has, over the past weeks, recorded statements of Sushant's family, staff, a few of his friends, and Rhea Chakraborty, besides filmmaker Mukesh Chhabra and actress Sanjana Sanghi who worked with the late actor in his upcoming last film "Dil Bechara".

Sushant Singh Rajput was found hanging in his Mumbai residence on June 14. The actor's postmortem report stated his death was a suicide.

Within a few days of the actor's death, a complaint was filed by advocate Sudhir Kumar Ojha in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate in Bihar's Muzaffarpur. The case filed regarding the actor's death was against eight Bollywood personalities including Bhansali, Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Aditya Chopra and Ekta Kapoor.
