KAMAL HAASAN'S 'HEY RAM' TO BE REMADE BY SHAH RUKH KHAN

Kamal Haasan’s ‘Hey Ram’ was one of the most talked films around its release in 2000. The film revolves around a protagonist's journey from religious hatred to love with the theme of the Partition of Bengal in the background. The movie has garnered three National Film Awards and won the audience’s heart over time. It became one of the best films in the veteran actor’s long list of successful movies.

The movie was originally made in Tamil which was later also dubbed in Hindi. According to a leading daily, the copyrights to this film are now owned by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment. The actor has decided to remake the movie in Hindi. King Khan was also a part of the original project.

Confirming the news, the director of the original movie said, "Shah Rukh only got a wristwatch by the end of the film as I was left with nothing to offer the Bollywood superstar."

"I am glad that SRK acquired the rights from co-producer Bharat Shah and hopes that he still has some memory of the film since he gave his friendship and service for it," Kamal added.

The historical-political thriller with a semi-fictional plot centers on India's Partition and the assassination of Mahatma Khan by Nathuram Godse.
