Remake of Omkara and a sequel to Desi Boyz were announced earlier today.
Omkara featured Ajay Devgn, Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, while Desi Boyz starred Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Singh.
On Thursday (December 22), Anand Pandit Motion Pictures has joined hands with Eros International and Parag Sanghvi and announced the remake of Vishal Bharadwaj’s highly-acclaimed movie Omkara (2006) and a sequel to Rohit Dhawan directed comedy-drama Desi Boyz (2011).
While Omkara was the Hindi movie adaptation of William Shakespeare’s classic novel, ‘Othello’, Desi Boyz traced the story of two close friends who started working as male escorts after they lost their jobs.
Talking about it, Anand Pandit reportedly said in a statement –
“Each of these two films Omkara and Desi Boyz were trailblazers in their respective eras for their storytelling, star cast, and music. They still remain unforgettable for their command over their respective genres. They have a cult following for different reasons and it seemed like the perfect time to revisit these hits and take their stories forward for a new generation of viewers.”
The cast details for both the movies are yet to be announced.
