The first look of Telugu star Ram Charan Teja , who is making his Bollywood debut with ' Zanjeer ' remake, is out. He is cast opposite Priyanka Chopra and is playing the role of a cop named Vijay. Ram Charan Teja is the son of the superstar Chiranjeevi .
In the original movie, Amitabh Bachchan had played the role of Vijay. So Teja is stepping into the shoes of India's biggest star-actor. Hence, Teja's performance will certainly be compared with that of Big B. He said, "So far dealing with being Chiranjeevi 's son was a challenge enough. But that challenge is nothing when compared with what I face now. To get into the space of India's biggest star-actor is a prospect that I am not brooding over."
He added, "If I think about how I'll be compared in our ' Zanjeer ' with Mr. Bachchan, I wouldn't be able to get into it. I've constantly lived under the shadow of comparisons."
Although, Ram Charan Teja has been working on his Hindi language and has got a tutor for this purpose, he said, "I'm working on my Hindi for sure. I've got a tutor to teach me the nuances. Waise meri Hindi utni buri nahin hai (Anyway, my Hindi is not that bad). But yes, it's a character who screams through his silence."
Apoorva Lakhia is directing the movie and Teja is working on his character in the film with his help.
