Now, the makers are reportedly in talks to convince Bellamkonda Sreenivas to dub his voice in the Hindi version of 'Chhatrapathi'. For that, he is now busy learning Hindi speaking skills. The film will be directed by Telugu star director VVVinayak who is also making his Bollywood debut with this 'Chhatrapathi' remake. Pen Studios owner Jayantilal Gada is funding this project.
