Ram Charan Teja, who is foraying into Bollywood with Zanjeer, does
not have any expectations from the movie Zanjeer, the remake of Amitabh
Bachchan's 1973 superhit film. The 28-year-old Tollywood star, who was
apprehensive to step into the shoes of B-Town megastar, hopes to get 10
per cent of what Bachchan had got from the original film.
In an interview to PTI, Ram Charan Teja said, "I don't expect too much.
It was intimidating, to get into role of Big B for this film. There was a
bit of pressure and it was difficult to handle. In a way when you take
up a film like this, certain amount of pressure should be there as it
makes you more serious, disciplined and responsible. It worked to my
advantage," Ram said.
Amitabh's role as Vijay Khanna, an aggressive cop, acquired cult status
and established him as the angry young man of Bollywood, giving him his
first Blockbuster. The Telugu actor also happened to meet the
70-year-old superstar on the first day of his shoot for the film, helmed
by Apoorva Lakhia.
Ram Charan said, "It was a coincidence that I happened to meet him
(Bachchan) on the first day. As we were shooting in the same location. I
was quite scared as I was playing his character. I had no clue how he
would react, but he was calm and cool." He added, "Those blessings gave
us energy to perform better. I did not ask for any suggestions or ideas.
I wish he could have given some, but he is not that kind of a person
sharing his knowledge. He wished good luck"
