It seems the season of remakes is not going to be over yet, as news comes of yet another Bollywood classic remake, this time the Amitabh Bachchan musical Satte Pe Satta.
Veteran filmmaker Raj N Sippy is all set to modernise his milestone comedy with a 2007 adaptation.
Says Sippy, “It’s called Seven and will be a musical. It will not be an exact remake of my original version. Instead of seven brothers, the revamped version will have three sisters and four brothers. In today’s scenario, I don’t think I can make Amitabh Bachchan play a double role all over again. Ideally, Sanjay Dutt would be the first choice as the 40 plus, happy-go -lucky bachelor. I already have a rapport with him, having directed him in Thanedaar (1990).”
It is expected the film will be shot in a 3 month stretch during mid-2007 for a Diwali 2007 release.
