Rajni, the new 'Baadsha' of Bollywood

South Superstar Rajinikanth's film 'Baadsha' will release in Hindi... 

Rajinikanth made his mark even in bollywood what with the super success of 'Robot'/'Endhiran'... This has encouraged filmmaker Badrakali Vara Prasad Rao to release the 1990 Tamil blockbuster 'Baadsha' in Hindi.

The movie will be re-worked upon and freshly packaged. There'll be graphics added, and colour correction made to the original.

When 'Baadsha' had released in the South, the makers were keep to remake it in Hindi with Amitabh in the lead. Unfortunately, things did not work out. Now, with Rajni becoming a hot name even in Bollywood, the movie has got a second chance, and the producers are most likely not to give this one a miss.

Vidya to romance Rajinikanth

Actress Vidya Balan to play a part in Rajni's 'Rana'. 

There have been a lot of specualtions as far as the female casting of Rajinikanth's 'Rana' is concerned. While Deepika Padukone definitely dumped 'Housefull 2' to be a part of this venture, there were talks that Asin, Madhuri Dixit and Rekha were also offered to be a part f this film at some point in time.

However, Madhuri, it is heard declined to play the part she was offered; Rekha it is heard will romace the older Rajni; Deepika Padukone will romance the younger Rajni; and now it's touted that Vidya Balan will play the love interest of the middle-aged Rajni.

It is common knowledge, that Rajni plays a triple role in 'Rana', and thus three actresses were required to be cast for this multi-lingual fare.
