Bollywood Big B Amitabh Bachchan In Iedereen Beroemd Remake: Amitabh Bachchan, the Big B, has been roped in to play the role of the father of a teenaged girl in a film which is yet to be titled. It is reportedly an authorized remake of a Belgian flick titled Iedereen Beroemd in which the protagonist yearns to see his adolescent daughter as a great vocalist. The original, which was directed by Dominque Deruddre, was an Oscar nominee in the best foreign film category.
Bollywood filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, of Aks, Rang De Basanti and Delhi-6 fame, was attracted to the original due to the proximity of the subject matter to the Indian audience. Thus, he decided to make it in Hindi and bought the remake rights. It is to be noted that the film in question is Amitabh Bachchan's first authorized remake.
