Satte Pe Satta Remake Shelved Because No Superstar Said Yes? Here’s What We Know

Remakes are Bollywood’s favorite kind of projects. May it be a remake of a South blockbuster or a new version of an old Bollywood masterpiece, filmmakers love it and so do we! Retelling a super hit story is not easy, it’s an art. So, fans were obviously excited when reports of Satte Pe Satta remake began doing the rounds. While initial buzz suggested that Shah Rukh Khan will lead the project, it was later said that Ajay Devgn may star in the much awaited film.

Well according to the latest report shared by Bollywood Hungama, Satte Pe Satta remake has been shelved and the reason will leave you shocked! Filmmaker Farah Khan had to take this decision because no superstar was ready to feature in the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer. That’s right! She first took the film to Hrithik Roshan, who didn’t give a definite answer but reportedly made her wait for months before opting out. Next in line were Bollywood’s Khiladi Akshay Kumar and Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan, who also declined the offer.

Another obstacle in Farah’s way is new-age copyright rules. A source was quoted saying, “Back in 1982 Raj Sippy made an unofficial remake of Stanley Donen’s Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. But now with the copyright rules being so rigid it would be difficult do Satte Pe Satta without the relevant legal permission.” Well, this news will surely break many hearts!
