After many speculations over the heroine of ‘Zanjeer’ remake and with names like Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor etc doing the rounds, finally the producers of the film seems to have settled in on Priyanka Chopra for the coveted part.

Priyanka has been reportedly signed in for a whopping amount of Rs. 11 Cr in the ‘Zanjeer’ remake opposite Mega Power Star Ram Charan. Incidentally Priyanka Chopra had already starred in two Amitabh Bachchan remakes ‘Don’ and ‘Agneepath’ successfully and this seems to have tilted the decision in her favor.

‘Zanjeer’ remake directed by Apoorva Lakhia will take off from April 20. Amit Mehra son of Prakash Mehra, who is the director of the original version, produces this film in association with Reliance Entertainment. The movie is expected to have a Republic Day 2013 release.
