Talking to Hyderabad Times Rajamouli said, "We will be releasing Makkhi, the Hindi version of Eega, in a month's time." When asked if he had approached Abhishek Bachchan to play Nani's role, he categorically stated, "We have not approached Abhishek or any actor in the Hindi film industry. There will be no 3D version, but we are making a few changes to suit Hindi audiences. In Telugu, the fly dances to Chiranjeevi and other Tollywood star songs, but in its Bollywood avatar, it will groove to Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshanhits." And precisely which songs will the makkhi be dancing to? To that producer Suresh Babu says, "For Salman's moves, we would like to take a song from Dabangg or Bodyguard. We have to see which song best suits the movements of our fly."
Given that the 3D rumour was very strong in the industry, we asked producer Suresh Babu if they ever had planned for it. Confirming it, he said, "Initially, we did plan to make it in 3D as the animated fly makes for great three-dimensional visuals. But we had to drop the idea because it was time-consuming — if we took it up it would not be ready for release only by yearend. Besides, it costs nearly `7 crore to change the format." As Eega makes its debut flight to B-Town, will it be able to recreate the magic there? Watch this space for more 'buzz'.
