Big B starrer remakes have always broken records when it comes to box office success, (Don and Agneepath). After the much hyped Zanjeer remake starring Priyanka Chopra and South superstar Ram Charan in the lead, two other Big B films are being taken up for remake.
A movie that created history with starcast like Big B and Rajinikanth sharing screen space, Andha Kanoon and Aakhree Rasta starring Sridevi and Jayaprada respectively are all set to be remade. Jayantilal Gada, the Cmd of Pen India Pvt. Ltd acquired the rights of these films on Friday. Also, he is so excited about these films, that he is ready to start up with one of these films by early 2014.
To mark Amitabh Bachchan’s 82nd birthday, OTT platform Ultra Play is presenting the “Aaj Khush Toh Bahut Hoge Tum” festival this October,— a nostalgic binge-fest dedicated to the man who redefined Indian cinema. From his fiery dialogues to unforgettable roles, it’s a salute to the cinematic titan himself.
In a couple of days, we would be seeing Amitabh Bachchan making his long-awaited debut in Tamil. There were a few times when it almost happened, especially with SJ Suryah’s Uyarndha Manidhan, but the debut got pushed further even as he starred in films like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy and Kalki 2898 AD in Telugu. The delay was probably to ensure that one of the biggest icons of Indian cinema had to make his debut in Tamil with a film starring one of the biggest icons of Indian cinema — Rajinikanth. Director TJ Gnanavel’s Vettaiyan is the fourth film starring Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan after the three Hindi films, Andha Kanoon, Giraftaar, and Hum.
