"Srimanthudu is such a story that will be liked only by South audiences. It won't fit the bill for a hero like Salman Khan. They won't see such stories in Bollywood. I'm working on new stories for Salman, but not these remakes", said producer Rockline Venkatesh.

Recently this producer has made "Bajrangi Bhaijan" with Salman Khan and the film turned to become a master-blaster hit at box office, earning more than Baahubali on a whole with domestic and overseas collections included. Venkatesh is rumoured to be producing Srimanthudu Hindi version for Salman, as that film is a semi-industry hit here in Tollywood. But today he has reacted on these rumours and quashed them.
