Remakes not a trend, but creative choice: Abhishek

Abhishek Bachchan is gearing up for the release of his new film 'Players', an official remake of Hollywood film 'Italian Job', and the actor feels that remakes are more of a creative choice than just a trend.

'Players' is the official remake of 'Italian Job'. The story of players is the same, but the screenplay is completely different because you have to make it for the Indian audience,' Abhishek said.

'I don't think there is any trend. We make a thousand films a year and, out of this, may be four or five are remakes. I think it is more of a creative choice than following a trend. When Abbas-Mustan saw 'Italian job', they felt they want to make this for the Indian audience,' he added.

Nowadays, social networking sites are becoming a prominent platform for actors and filmmakers for promoting their films, but Abhishek doesn't seem to be in favour of it.

'Social networking isn't just for promotions. It is a platform to exchange ideas and interact with our fans... A little bit of promotion is fine but I don't think promoting the whole film is advisable,' said the actor.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have the pleasure to brief you on our Data Visualization software
"Trend Compass".

TC is a new concept in viewing statistics & trends in an animated way
by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble
color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. Discover trends
hidden in spreadsheets. It could be used in analysis, research,
presentation etc. In different business sectors, to name a few we
have Deutsche Bank, NBC Universal, RIM, Vanguard Institutional
Investor, Ipsos, Princeton University as our clients.

NO AB, they aren't simply trends.
Writers are unable to come up with anything original----and that's the trend!

What this guy believes social networking sites are not good for promoting movies? Oh I guess according to AB social networking sites are good for promoting family members *anybody remember Beti B promotion on twitter* ROFL

Why do we have remakes??? Oh well the answer is so simple but everybody refuses to accept it - The bollywood industry lacks good writers and hence we have to have remakes. Sadly they have all disappeared from this industry.

I have no intention of watching Players I might as well sit and watch Italian job. It is a fantastic movie.2011-12-30 09:04:47
