It seems like Mahesh Manjrekar has waited enough. The long-pending Hindi version of Marathi film Shikshanachya Aaichau00a0Gho was to star Salman Khan asu00a0 an ambitious and academically-obsessed father of a boy who wants loves playing cricket. About a year ago when Manjrekar offered Khan the role, he seemed eager tou00a0 "break the mould" andu00a0 do the unexpected in the shoes of a working class father of teenage kids. That was before Dabangg. Now , ordinary characters areu00a0 out of Khan's career. Life-like isu00a0 not acceptable. Larger-than-life is the need of the hour. The Hindi adaptation of Shikshanachya Aacha Gho nou00a0 longer enthuses him. Apparently, Manjrekar has moved on too. Bengali superstar Presanjeet is set to playu00a0 the lead in the Bengali adaptation of the Marathi film, and he might just play the lead inu00a0 the Hindiu00a0 version too. The other option is National Award-winning Telugu actor Prakash Raj, who played a villain opposite Salman Khan in Wanted. Manjrekar is unwilling to admit he has given up on Khan. "Salman and I discussed the film while shooting for Anees Bazmi's Ready. He was very excited. But he still hasn't found the time to see theu00a0 Marathi original. I'll speak to him when we resume shooting for Ready," he said. In the meanwhile,u00a0Manjrekar admitsu00a0 that Prakash Raj is doing two versions of the film. "Prakash liked the Marathi film, and agreed to do both, Tamil and Telugu versions. He will also direct both versions." Manjrekar will play a supporting character (a Muslim money lender) in the Tamil and Telugu versions. Asu00a0 for the much-awaited Hindi adaptation, it seems tou00a0 have slipped out of Salman Khan's hands.
