Rajamouli wants Hrithik to play lead in 'Magadheera'

Director SS Rajamouli, who is on a roll with his latest hit 'Eega' has been busy with dubbing the film as 'Makkhi' in Hindi.

However, his previous film 'Magadheera' which became a huge hit in the south is being remade in Hindi by Anurag Kashyap and the man who originally penned the script wants Hrithik Roshan to play the lead.

Although Hrithik Roshan has not shown interest in the project, and has also previously stated that he wouldn't prefer period films, Rajamouli believes he will be a perfect fit to play the role. The director also wants to make a Bollywood film of his own, but did not comment on the project.
