Mani Ratnam's classic film to be remade

The last few months has seen a crazy flow of south Indian movies being sent to Bollywood, getting remade and scoring hits. Most of them are from Telugu and they have been hits in the recent past. But now, one film is gearing up to be remade in Hindi and this happens to 20 years old.

The other fact is, it is made by Mani Ratnam. Yes, news is that the maverick movie maker's classic film 'Dalapathi' is all set to be remade in Hindi. The original had Mammootty and Rajinikanth which had a slight inspiration from Mahabharata. Now, it is heard that this will be remade into Hindi.

The man to make this happen is producer Bharat Shah who bought the remake rights and it is heard that Puja Jatinder, a lady who worked as assistant for many films would be directing the remake. Sources say changes will be made in the script to bring some contemporary look but the screenplay would be intact. This should be interesting.
