Basu Chatterjee`s Baton Baton Mein remake eyed by Nasha producer Aditya Bhatia

The 1979 film Baton Baton Mein made by celebrated filmmaker Basu Chatterjee is set to be reshaped soon. The project is expected to be taken forward by Aditya Bhatia, who recently produced Poonam Pandey’s debut film Nasha.

Bhatia told IANS, "It's true that I am remaking Mr. Basu's cult film 'Baton Baton Mein'. But right now I am waiting to choose the right director for the film. I am in talks with few directors. By the next weekend, I will finalise the director and the star cast.” Bhatia has also claimed that the veteran filmmaker Chatterjee has also showered his blessings on him for the project.

The producer stated, "I spoke to him and he is very happy. He has given his best wishes for the remake. This is one of his best films and we're proud to remake it. It will be a full-fledged remake.” The original movie, which was a rom-com, featured Amol Palekar and Tina Munim. A fresh cast will be decided for the remake as Bhatia said, "The remake will have fresh faces and the film will go on floors by November 2013.”
