Aamir Khan teams up with makers of 3 Idiots

The perfectionist Aamir Khan has signed Rajkumar Hirani's tentatively titled film "Peekay", which will be produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. 

On Aamir Khan's birthday he had said that, "I would love to do Raju`s (Hirani) film. But I want him to make the announcement. The script is very good. Raju is a very good director and a very good human being. We have spoken about a film, but it is better if he announces it."

Abhijat Joshi who had co-written 3 Idiots said that, “I was writing Peekay with Raju. Aamir is acting in it. We’ve completed the script and will sit for narrations soon.”

Director Rajkumar Hirani said, "We have finished writing "PK""

Prior to Peekay, Aamir Khan, Rajkumar Hirani and Vidhu Vinod Chopra had worked together in the movie 3 Idiots in the year 2009 which turned out to be a super duper hit and the movie even set new records at the international level.

The movie 3 Idiots was released in the year 2009, an Indian comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra with a screenplay by Abhijat Joshi. The story of the movie was loosely adapted from the novel Five Point Someone written by Chetan Bhagat. 3 Idiots starred Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Omi Vaidya, Parikshit Sahni and Boman Irani.

Aamir Khan who will start working on his Yash Raj Films Dhoom 3 from May 2012 said that they would start shooting for Peekay this year itself. He said, “The film is going on the floors in October.”

Bips - Maddy falls on Satellite too!

After the heavy blow they received at the box office, it seems that Jodi Breakers are still receiving their share at the satellite rights as well. The promos had raised the bars for the movie but when it got released it seems that the cards fell out of place. 

A source from movie trade says "The movie had generated much hype prior to its release but the poor box office performance has been a minus. Eversince the rights have been bidding at lower rates and this can certainly affect the production crew".

According to the trade specialist the trade price for this Bips-Maddy film came down by nearly 5-6 crores because of the poor box office response. This is the rates when the Khan's are selling their movies at 40 and 30 crores. It seems that the management team at the satellites clearly understand what to pay.

The movie had shown much attention as Madhavan was doing his second movie since the successful run at 3idiots, but a poor story line made the movie fall out of place and dropped nose first. Although the chemistry between Madhavan and Bipasha was much appreciated and their performances were mentioned through the flop run.

Tough luck!

Shahid confirms Vettai remake

Actors from Salman Khan to Akshay Kumar are open to doing South remakes, and now its Shahid Kapoor turn. 

It is said that recently UTV Motion Pictures arranged a special screening of Vettai for Shahid Kapoor and the storyline impressed him. Shahid Kapoor gave a nod instantly and allotted the dates for the film. The actor will fill Madhavan's shoes. Filming begins from mid-April onwards.

Originally directed by N Lingusamy, Vettai released in January this year and became a super hit too. Looking at the success of the film producers have decided to remake the movie in Hindi with the same director. Vettai has Arya and R Madhavan in lead roles. As far as the Hindi version is concerned, Shahid has been considered to play the role R Madhavan did in the original. UTV is still on the lookout to fill the other cast. Vettai will have two actors and two actresses. 

Meanwhile, UTV’s project which is not yet titled directed by Abhishek Kapoor might feature popular television actor Sushant Singh Rajput in one of the leads and if they do so this will mark Sushant’s big screen debut.

This movie will be Shahid Kapoor's first Hindi remake of a south film.

SRK and Imran on hunt?

Shahrukh Khan and Imran Khan are going to pair pretty soon, atleast that is the talk that we have strong in the industry and this will be for the remake of the South Indian Super hit movie 'Vettai' which did star R. Madhavan and Arya. The movie had shown a Madhavan playing the good cop who loves peace and Arya the younger brother with violet attitude.

So it might be the new Khan brothers of tinsel town. There has also been news that R. Madhavan is keen on portraying his role in Hindi as well, as he has a couple of hits in Hindi and carries the same persona as he does in Tamil movies. "But UTV, who have earned huge profits with the Tamil film, would rather take the remake further with two big stars in the lead roles. And since Shah Rukh and Imran have shied away from remakes of South Indian films, the production house feels that the novelty factor of their pairing will add to the edge of the remake," added the source.

When contacted, Siddharth Roy Kapoor of UTV was noncommittal about the pairing and simply said, "Nothing has been finalised yet. It's too early to talk about the details. But we're definitely considering remaking our Tamil production Vettai in Hindi, since it's a huge success down south."
