Looks like Ekta Kapoor is pretty kicked with Varun Dhawan’s performance in Karan Johar’s <em>Student of the Year</em>. Otherwise why would the enchanting producer sign on 25-year old Varun to feature in the remake of a Telugu film <em>Kandireega</em>? “We have approached Varun... We are in talks with him. Things are in process. We are getting things worked out. We had bought the rights of the Telugu film a year back,” said an official of Balaji Motion Pictures on conditions of anonymity while confirming them having approached Varun.

After her last film Dirty Picture turned out to be a smash hit, a gung ho Ekta Kapoor is bent on churning out films in plenty. So much so that Balaji Motion Pictures has chalked out as many as six films like <em>Ek Thi Daayan, Shootout At Wadala, Kuku Mathur Ki Jhand Ho Gayi, Lootera, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Again</em> and <em>Ragini MMS 2<em> to be released next year. Ekta has recently bagged the Hindi remake rights of the Telugu film <em>Kandireega</em> that was immensely successful. The film starred Ram, Hansika and Aksha among others.
