THINGS TO KNOW

If all goes well, SRK will work in another action film, directed by AR Murugadoss, after the success of Don 2. A remake of south film Ramana, the film deals with an anti-corruption theme, reports Subhash K Jha.

Interestingly, word is that several prominent producers were vying for the Bollywood rights of the film, especially now when anti-corruption statements have acquired a profound relevance, thanks to Anna Hazare.

Ramana tells the story of a professor, who uproots corruption by building a strong student chain of network, killing the bribe takers and giving justice to the common man.

Sources have said that Shahrukh Khan is likely to star in the Hindi version of Ramana. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was impressed by the film and bagged the remake rights and offered the film to SRK. It is also said that the actor has liked the role, as he has not played the role of a vigilante till date.

"I will be directing the Hindi version of Ramana. Shah Rukh and I have talked about the film," Murugadoss confirmed to Jha.
