The Tamil hit Billa is being remade in Telugu, with Prabhas stepping into the lead role previously played by Ajith.
The Ajith starrer 'Billa', which was a big hit in Tamil last year is now going to Andhra Pradesh.
Interestingly the Tamil movie was a remake of the yesteryear Rajini hit titled the same. When Ajith's chips were down the movie got released and re-establish his supremacy in Tamil cinema.
Now, Prabhas, who is down and out with a slew of failures in Andhra, has chosen to do the film. When Vishnuvardhan was approached to do the remake again, he refused as he was busy with 'Sarvam'. Similarly Nayantara who played the bold 'Sasha' in 'Billa' declined to do the similar role in Telugu.
Shooting for the Telugu version of 'Billa' will start soon. Prabhas had reportedly called on Ajith and sought his advice.
