Movie buffs have been keenly watching out for news related to the remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s cult classic Satte Pe Satta since it surfaced. While there has been no confirmation, numerous reports have come to the fore about the lead cast. Until now, it was being reported that Hrithik Roshan is being considered to play the lead role and step into Big B's shoes. However, a source has now told Pinkvilla exclusively that Farah Khan may be turning to her dearest actor friend for the much-talked about remake.
Turns out, Hrithik Roshan has read the first draft of the film's script and is not entirely happy with it. He is expected to get a second narration in November and is likely to take a call post that. In the meantime, Farah is not sitting idle and has turned to her family friend and actor Sha Rukh Khan. Sources revealed that the 'Main Hoon Na' director is trying to woo SRK to take up the project. Sha Rukh Khan, on the other hand, has been on a break since his last box office outing 'Zero' tanked massively.
Meanwhile, sources also revealed that makers have purchased the rights of the original film titled Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and the remake is most likely to be titled 'Seven'. There is little to no chance of the film being called Satta Pe Satte 2. As for the film's female lead, speculations have been rife that Anushka Sharma is being considered for the part. And if it is true, it could be SRK and Anushka's fifth film together.
