Boney Kapoor ropes in son Arjun for 'Okkadu' remake

Filmmaker Boney Kapoor is set to produce the remake of hit Telugu film "Okkadu" and has roped in son Arjun Kapoor to play the lead. It will go on floors next year.

"Yes, I am making the remake of Telugu film 'Okkadu'. Eros has bought the rights of this film. I can't reveal the details of it right now. Once things fall in place, I can talk about it," Boney told IANS.

"The film will go on floors in June 2013. Arjun is busy with other projects including 'Aurangazeb', 'Gundey' and '2 States'. Once he is done with these films, he will start shooting for the remake," he added.

Boney is yet to decide on the leading lady and the director of this film.

"The leading lady is not yet finalized. I will be able to talk about it after two weeks. Once I get the clarity and I can say who will be directing the film and who will be the leading lady. Right now it's too early to talk about anything," he said.

Directed by Gunasekhar, the 2003 Telugu film featured Mahesh Babu, Bhumika Chawla and Prakash Raj.
