Hrithik Roshan starrer 'Satte Pe Satta' remake gets a title

Rohit Shetty and Farah Khan’s next outing 'Satte Pe Satta' remake starring Hrithik Roshan and Anushka Sharma finally gets its title after a number of ups and downs. Apparently, Rohit Shetty started talks with an international production house for the rights of Hollywood film, 'Seven Brides For Seven Brothers' (Satte Pe Satta was said to be an adaptation of that film) and are in the process of finalising the deal.However, there is a condition that Rohit and Farah will have to use another title and not be able to use the character of Babu in the remake.
As per a report in an entertainment portal, Rohit and Farah cannot make a remake of the 1982 film. When the original writers of 'Satte Pe Satta', Satish Bhatnagar, Kader Khan and Jyoti Swaroop, had written the film they had created a double role for Amitabh Bachchan. Apart from Ravi Anand, the writers had also penned a dark character Babu ( both the roles played by Bachchan). Also, the title 'Satte Pe Satta' is registered in the name of its sole right holder, Rajesh Vasani. Therefore Hrithik will not be able to play a double role like Babu in Farah’s movie.
The report further added Rohit Shetty has already registered the title Sattrangi and Satrangi with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA). Also, the producers are also not retaining the character of Babu and are planning to change the script.
The original film was produced by Romu Sippy and directed by Raj N Sippy
