Ravi Tejan in Special 26 remake
Ravi Teja is all set to play the role of actor Akshay Kumar in Telugu remake of Special 26. Confirming this Ravi,says, 'The Telugu-Tamil producer Thyagarajan has bought the South Indian rights for Neeraj Pandey's Special 26.
He wants me to play Akshay Kumar's role in the Telugu version. Ravi feels a special bonding with Akshay Kumar. 'Akshay and I even look similar physically. This is not true with Salman Khan who did the remake of my Kick. We are completely different actors. But Akshay and I are similar.
When he did Rowdy Rathod he was gracious enough to say he couldn't do the things that I did in the original. Hopefully I can do at least some of the things that Akshay did in Special 26.'
According to Ravi, the remake will be different from original. 'Special 26 was a raw and real film. It is very different from what Akshay usually does. I can't afford to be different. My fans would never forgive me. Audiences like me doing action and comedy.
I am a jovial person from childhood and so I remain. I like to laugh my way through my work. And that attitude reflects in my roles.' Special 26in Telugu would take time to take off. 'I've to complete Kick 2. Then I start another film entitled Bengal Tiger. Only after that will I be able to do Special 26,' he said.
