Rana roots for Telugu-Hindi bilingual?

Although Rana Daggupati, wanted to do a Telugu film with talented director Milind Rau, he changed his plans and urged the director to re-write the script to connect with Hindi audience too after hits like 'Saaho' and 'Sye Raa...' "Initially, Rana was satisfied doing a Telugu film with 'Gruham' director.

Now, after seeing the response for Telugu movies like 'Saaho' and buzz for 'Sye Raa...' in Bollywood, Rana has bigger plans and wants to cater to pan-Indian audience with his next outing, a spooky thriller," says a source, close to the unit.

It is known that Rana is joining hands with Milind Rau for a big budget horror flick to be produced by Achanta Gopinath and Suresh Babu.

Though he was away from India for couple of months, he was still gathering reports about his friend and colleague Prabhas making waves across India with his stylised action film.

Hence, Rana wants to grab the eyeballs of Hindi film viewers and suggesting ideas to his director to re-work and give the script a pan-India appeal, the source adds.

With the film totued to be first of its kind it terms of content and treatment, Rana is going to cash in on his craze in Hindi market.

"It is a path-breaking movie in the spooky genre and feels that it will have better connect with non Telugu viewers," the source points out.

Nonetheless, after Prabhas and Chiru, the grandson of Ramanaidu is looking to charm viewers across India.
