As per reports, Farah Khan is making a movie, which will be
adapted from the classic Raj N Sippy directorial Satte Pe Satta, which had
Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini essaying the lead roles.
A quirky comedy that rotates around the story of seven
brothers, Farah plans to make a modern day adaptation of the same. About the
film hero, a source reveals, "Farah has already discussed the idea with
Hrithik Roshan, who has also given a verbal nod to the project. Farah has
reworked the whole script and designed it to suit the contemporary times. They
needed a megastar who would command the same screen presence as Big B and Hrithik
was their first choice. Farah and Hrithik have been friends for decades now so
he instantly heard the story and okayed it. The final modalities will be worked
out soon and the actor will also make an announcement right after that."
It's an exciting association not just for Hrithik and Farah
but also for the actor and Rohit Shetty, who is producing the movie.
While superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar had
been doing the rounds, the team selected Hrithik for a reason. "They
didn't want someone too old or too young for this movie. The hero has to look the
eldest of the lot and still not too old for marriage. They wanted someone in
their 40s as the role would fit them perfectly. In fact, even Amit ji was 40
when Satte Pe Satta released."
