A few days back, we had reported that writer duo Salim-Javed were not too pleased with the plans to remake the 1973 blockbuster Zanjeer as they felt it amounted to creative infringement. However, it seems that Amitabh Bachchan, who played the protagonist Vijay Khanna in the original film, has no such objections to a remake.
Sources claim that director Apoorva Lakhia, who is working on the remake of revenge drama Zanjeer, has managed to rope in the Big B to appear in a cameo in the remake! When asked to elaborate, Lakhia was quoted to have said, "Right now, its too early to talk about the extent of Mr. Bachchan's participation in the remake. But yes, I cant dream of remaking Zanjeer without the Bachchan family's participation. The project has their support and blessing."
The remake is supposed to star South star Chiranjeevi's son Ram Charan Teja as protagonist Vijay whereas Priyanka Chopra will reportedly play the female lead, which was played by Jaya Bachchan in the original film.
