Himesh Reshammiya has been awfully
low-profile these days. Quietly we hear
he has negotiated for the remake rights
of Shekhar Kapur'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 tear-jerker had melted hearts across
the nation immediately establishing
Shekhar Kapur as a formidable
filmmaking force.
Now 30 years later, Himesh Reshammiya
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.
