Telugu actor Prabhas, the lead actor in the film Mirchi, which namma Kichcha Sudeep recently remade in Kannada as Maanikya, has been hearing good things about Sudeep's version. So much so that Prabhas, who is apparently nursing an injured shoulder post surgery, is keen to watch the film. The actor took to his social networking page to write, " Congratulations to my friend Sudeep on the success of 'Maanikya', the remake of Mirchi'. I want to watch the movie soon! Some one please teach me Kannada."

According to sources, Maanikya was made at a scale as grand or better than the original, a richness that is apparently evident onscreen. Add to that the fact that Sudeep managed to get Crazy Star V Ravichandaran to play his father in the film and a host of other interesting actors on the cast, including Ramya Krishnan, Nagashekhar, Sadhu Kokila, Varalaxmi and Ranya, among others.
