After garnering a huge response at the box office, Vidya Balan starrer “Kahaani” is likely to be made in English under the Yash Raj Films banner. When asked director Sujoy Ghosh about this development, he said,
“The talks are on with them… So we can’t say anything. It is all in initial stage.. We would be happy if it is made in English. It will be great. But if it does not happen then also it is ok.”
The 46-year-old director also made it clear that there will be no prequel to the hit Hindi film.
“I know people want to see more of Bob Biswas… But we can’t make a prequel particularly only for Bob. His character was small and it will not make a full film,” Sujoy said.
The character of Bob Biswas, a contract killer-cum-LIC agent, was appreciated by all.
Additionally, the movie will also be remade in Tamil and Telugu by TV production company Endemol India.
Known for its television shows like “Bigg Boss” and “Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi”, the production company is set to roll the remakes on floors in September. Both the Tamil and Telugu versions will release in January 2013.
The company is currently in talks with some leading southern actors for the lead role in “Kahaani” remake.
