Remember the Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth starrer Hollywood musical ‘Mamma Mia’? No need to strain your mind if you don’t, as Bollywood will shortly have it’s own version of the hit film with yesteryear’s dream girl Hema Malini filling Meryl’s shoes.
Set for her second production, Hema along with daughter Esha Deol will be very soon seen in a film that is in many ways a direct copy of the foreign blockbuster.
Titled ‘Tell Me Oh Khuda’, the film revolves around Esha Deol who is on a lookout for her real father. With Hema playing her mother, Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor will also star in the film.
Confirming the news a source said, “Hema has taken a long time to put this project in place. Besides Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor, another prominent actor will soon be added to the film’s cast.”
As to whether the film is a remake of the Hollywood flick ‘Mamma Mia’, the source said, “Although the story is different from ‘Mamma Mia’, people may still think that it is based on the Hollywood musical.”
To be directed by newcomer Mayur Puri, who was the associate director for Yash Raj Films’ ‘Dhoom’, the film is set to release next year.
