Shahrukh Khan: A blurring superstar marking an Autograph

While Aamir Khan has signed Reema Kagti’s suspense thriller, the King Khan SRK may become a fading star. No! Not in reality but for the remake of a Bengali film Autograph.

Autograph is a Bengali film that has been declared a runaway hit after releasing last week. It stars actor Prosonjeet as a fading star. There is a strong buzz that producer Madhu Mantena (who has decided to make its Hindi version) is eyeing Shahrukh for that role.

In the same film, Ranbir Kapoor may play a young director. The film shall be helmed by Srijit Mukherjee, who also directed the original Bengali version. But some altercations may be made to suit the Hindi audience. After all, there is some difference between a regional viewer and a national spectator.

Producer Mantena confirms that he, indeed, plans to make a remake and cites that this is the era of remakes and loads of regional films have the potential to be made into a full fledged Hindi commercial cinema.

Even Aamir Khan’s ‘Ghajini’ was a remake of the superhit Telugu film. Incidentally, Ghajini did a stupendous business in Bollywood and is currently the 3rd biggest blockbuster of all times.
