'Dabangg' is setting new records not only in Bollywood, but also in Tamil and Telugu. With 'Dabangg' opening to an overwhelming response, the enthusiasm to acquire the Tamil and Telugu remake rights has increased overnight. Kollywood producers Mohan Apparao and T. Ramesh have recently purchased the remake rights of 'Dabangg' for a whopping amount, the highest ever paid for a remake.
Now the latest buzz is that Simbu will play the role of Chulbul Pandey (originally played perfectly by Salman Khan) in the Tamil version. The shooting is expected to begin soon after finalizing the director and heroine.
