The first look of Telugu star Ramcharan Teja who's creating a foray in Bollywood opposite Priyanka Chopra in Zanjeer remake is out. Teja, who's superstar Chiranjeevi's son, will play the role of cop Vijay, a silently seething social outcast.

"I'm engaged on my Hindi evidently. I HAVE a tutor to show me the nuances. Waise meri Hindi utni buri nahin hai (Anyway, my Hindi isn't that bad). But yes, it is a character who screams through his silence," Teja told IANS.
"So let's just say I'd let my silence speak louder than my words. That's how my director Apoorva Lakhia and that i are engaged on my character," he added.
For now, Teja has larger concerns to cope with -- like getting into megastar Amitabh Bachchan's shoes. Big B, because the latter is fondly called, played Vijay within the original film.
"So far coping with being Chiranjeevi's son was a challenge enough. But that challenge is nothing compared to what I face now. To get into the gap of India's biggest star-actor is a prospect that i'm not brooding over," said Teja.
But he's not mulling over prospective comparison with the much senior Amitabh.
"If I FEEL about how I WILL BE compared in our Zanjeer with Mr. Bachchan, I WOULD NOT have the ability to get into it. I've constantly lived under the shadow of comparisons.
