John Abraham in Mirchi remake!

With south remakes topping the Rs. 100 crore club list, John Abraham, who recently crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark with Race 2, wants to be a part of yet another South remake. After Force, which was a remake of the Tamil movie Kaakha Kaakha, John will now be seen in the remake of a Telugu movie titledMirchi.

The original film stars Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Richa Gangopadhyay in the lead. It was released in February this year and John was apparently so impressed with the film, that he immediately bought the rights to remake it. 

However, the film is yet in its initial stages as the title and the cast are yet to be finalized.

Newsbreak: Aishwarya-Abhishek to come together for Himesh's Masoom Remake!!

Himesh Reshammiya has been awfully low-profile these days. Quietly we hear he has negotiated for the remake rights of Shekhar Kapoor's 1983 classic Masoom which starred Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi as a couple grappling with the reality of an illegitimate son in the husband's life.

The tearjerker had melted hearts across the nation immediately establishing Shekhar Kapoor as a formidable filmmaking force.

Now 30 years later Himesh Reshamiyya has bought the remake rights of Masoom from the original producers Chanda Dutt and Devi Dutt. The remake would be directed by Bedobrata Pain whose historical drama Chittagong last year received lavish critical acclaim. 
What's more, Himesh has zeroed in on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan to play the two roles immortalized by Shabana Azmi and Naseeruddin Shah.

According to a very reliable source, Abhishek and Aishwarya have agreed in principle to be in Himesh's remake.

`Now the details are being worked out, ` says the source.

Emraan to step in Aamir's shoes for 'Dil Hai Ki...' remake!

Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi will be stepping into the shoes of superstar Aamir Khan for the remake of 90s hit film 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi'.

Mahesh Bhatt is remaking 'Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi', with Hashmi reprising Aamir's character.

The original film, released in 1991, was directed by Bhatt and had his daughter Pooja Bhatt and Aamir in the lead.

While the director has not been finalised yet, it is learnt that the basic storyline will be same as the original.

"The film I directed was modelled on 'It Happened One Night' by Frank Capra, but didn't do justice to the hero's character. With this remake, we seek to do justice to the character played originally by Clark Gable, that of an unapologetic rake," Bhatt said in a statement here.

"Emraan fits this character like a glove. With this film, women will now fall in love with him," he said.

In 'Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahi', Pooja played the role of a daughter of a rich shipping tycoon Anupam Kher, while Aamir played a reporter.

Last year, Pooja had expressed her desire to remake 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi' with Alia and Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.
