poster of ‘Zanjeer’ remake.

South actor Ram Charan Teja is all set to step into Amitabh Bachchan’s shoes, as the angry young man Inspector Vijay, on in the ‘Zanjeer’ remake.

Here is the first look of the actor.

The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, who shot to fame with Shootout At Lokhandwala, and will have Priyanka Chopra step into the shoes of Jaya Bachchan.

Says Ram, “Zanjeer is a tribute to Mr. Bachchan and my father (actor Chiranjeevi).”

Amitabh Bachchan posted on his blog, “I do hope they will make a successful film. It is a compliment to the film being remade it was worthy of remaking when you had a hand in making the original. How many films do carry the benefit of a remake, is what needs to be appreciated also.”

Till date, just forty percent of the film is complete.
