South producers are queuing up to buy remake rights of Dabangg at any cost!

Dabangg's success has sparked a new trend. South Indian producers are now lining up at Arbaaz Khan Productions, seeking rights to remake the film. However, he's in no rush to make any deal.

The funny thing is, it's B-Town that usually does the buying with Telugu and Tamil hits usually up for grabs.

Cost no bar

A source explains the sea change, "Before this, only 3 Idiots had got such a great response from the South producers. Now they've trained their sights on Dabangg. Everyone wants the rights to remake the hit flick at any cost.

Also, since it's an action film, the story can be weaved to suit the tastes of the audiences down South. In any case, action flicks are a huge draw at the Tamil and Telugu box-offce."

Arbaaz cautiously admits, "There have been people who have shown interest. But I don't want to rush into anything. I will make the decision only when the time is right."

Adding that he would like to maintain creative control over the project Khan says, "I definitely would like to know how they would make the film. Dabangg is extremely special to me and I am proud of all the success it has achieved. It's important to know that whoever makes it, does justice to the material."
