South India?s top director Shankar is readying up for the remake of Bollywood blockbuster ?3 Idiots? into Tamil and Telugu. In Tamil, he will be remaking with Vijay as main hero and in our Telugu, he has zeroed on in superstar Mahesh Babu. Buzz is that in other roles, he would be selecting actors who are familiar to both Tamil and Telugu audiences. Now question is who would be playing the female lead in both the versions.
Sources told Telugucinema.com is that Shankar is in favour of roping Ileana for both the versions. He reportedly had a word with Ileana already who is currently shooting for NTR?s Shakti. Ileana too is excited at the chances of working under direction of Shankar but she is not revealing anything. Both Mahesh Babu and Ileana look damn hot as pair on screen. Remember their blockbuster Pokiri.
It would be her first film with Vijay in Tamil, she is chosen for the role. Trisha is also in the race but Ileana has edge over her.
