Is Hrithik Roshan Exiting Farah Khan And Rohit Shetty’s Satta Pe Satta For This Reason?

The stage was set for the grand announcement of Satta Pe Satta remake starring Hrithik Roshan and Katrina which would have marked the epic collaboration between Farah Khan and Rohit Shetty. The remake was tentatively titled Seven and some of the supporting cast was also finalized. However, looks like things have hit a major roadblock as Hrithik Roshan might exit the project.

A source close to the development revealed, “An announcement on the movie was to appear this week with Hrithik Roshan as the lead. Apparently, the team along with Farah and her writers went to give a narration to Hrithik last week but he didn’t like it. He told the team to re-write some parts again and return with a fresh narrative. Earlier, it had been reported that Rohit and Farah were keen to make the remake of the 1982 Satte Pe Satta, directed by Romu N Sippy but the deal with Rajesh Vasani (who owned the remake rights, fell through. There were two hitches which came with that – Rohit, Farah and the team could not use the title Satte Pe Satta and the character of Babu, which has been created by original writers of Satte Pe Satta, Satish Bhatnagar, Kader Khan, and Jyoti Swaroop.”

He further added, ““In Satte Pe Satta, the double role of Amitabh Bachchan as Ravi Anand (played by Bachchan), the good elder brother was balanced by the darker and pivotal character of Babu (again played by Bachchan), and who was also the antagonist. That would be an exciting character for anybody, including an actor like Hrithik to play and with that missing, something was lacking in the script. The makers were in talks with an international entertainment company for the official remake rights of the Hollywood musical Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954). The first draft didn’t have anything to do with Romu N Sippy’s Satte Pe Satta, as was the original plan. So now, Hrithik has told Farah and the team to re-write certain portions to make his character more exciting. Once they come back for another draft, will he decide whether he wants to do it or not”

Well, we hope that the makers find an amicable solution with both Hrithik Roshan and the owners of Satta Pe Satta as none of want the remake to come out without Hrithik or Babu in it.
