Arjun Rampal Gears Up For Prakash Jha's 'Chakravyuh'

Arjun Rampal has wrapped up shooting for Madhur Bhandarkar's ambitious film Heroine and now the RA.One star is gearing up for Prakash Jha's Chakravyuh.
 The film deals with issue of Naxalites and will be shot in Madhya Pradesh. Arjun, who will play a cop in the movie, jetted off to Bhopal last night.
 "On flight heading to Bhopal. Goodbye all wish me luck a grueling 2 months await me. Chakravyuh begins. Love and luck to all," tweeted Rampal on his page.
 Reportedly, Arjun will do some heavy duty action scenes for the film and has been training hard to get into the skin of his character.
 Meanwhile, the 39-year-old star has also signed Apoorva Lakhia's Zanjeer remake in which he'll essay the role of Sher Khan.
Charavyuh went on floors yesterday and features Esha Gupta, Abhay Deol and Manoj Bajpai alongside Rampal.

Arjun Rampal To Play Sher Khan In 'Zanjeer' Remake

Initially, it was reported that Sanjay Dutt has been approached to play the character of Sher Khan, played by Pran, in the Zanjeer remake by Apoorva Lakhia. This was followed by news that Sonu Sood and not Dutt has been finalised for the role. However, the plot seems to thicken again! Sources now claim that RA.One baddie Arjun Rampal has been roped in to play the character of the Pathan gangster!
 Confirming the news, Rampal was quoted to have said, "It's a Zanjeer based in modern times so my look doesn't necessarily have to be exactly like Pran saab in the original. Apoorva and I have discussed a few ideas on my get-up and will shortly zero down on the final look." Rampal also added that he has seen Zanjeer thrice so far and will be seeing it again before starting to shoot for the remake.
 Directed by Apoorva Lakhia of Shootout At Lokhandwala fame, the Zanjeer remake will have Ram Charan Teja playing the role of protagonist Vijay Khanna whereas Priyanka Chopra will play the role originally essayed by Jaya Bachchan and Singham baddie Prakash Raj will play the antagonist Teja.

‘Heroine’ based on Aishwarya Rai???

On the sets of Heroine, Kareena Kapoor was spotted with a baby bump. As soon as her pics with the baby bump were out on the net, rumor mills started their work. Yes! Rumors had it that the film ‘Heroine’ is based on Aishwarya Rai, who walked out of the film after her pregnancy announcement.
 Though the director of the film Madhur Bhandarkar has clearly staed that his film is not based on any actress, yet there are n number of stories coming up, time and again.
 Talking to a news channel, Kareena Kapoor makes it clear to everyone that ‘Heroine’ is a completely different film and is neither based on Aishwarya nor Manisha.
 Bebo further says that, the story is a fiction and is written by Madhur himself. She also says that, it is not the heroine or her clothes and glamor that the story is based upon but her mind.
