No movie from the 70s or 80s is safe these days, especially the Amitabh Bachchan ones. Amar Akbar Anthony is the next movie starring Amitabh in the original that is being remade by David Dhawan.
Curious about the casting? The good folks at Telugu Portal give us this-
He has roped in Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail Khan in the roles of Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor respectively, reports Bollywood Trade.
What is up with Bollywood and remakes these days? Has the well of creative writing run completely dry? Are there no original stories left to tell in Indian movies? Now remakes by itself is not a bad thing, but I just feel that Bollywood is going overboard with it. I am especially skeptical about David Dhawan being at the helm of this. David has produced his fair share of duds in the past and I would hate to see him ruin a classic like Amar Akbar Anthony to a street-side comedy.
