Sanajay Dutt to make his father’s classic as remake

Way2Movies has earlier reported that Sanjay Dutt is remaking yesteryear’s classic Satte Pe Satta with him essaying the role of Amitabh. Now, the macho man of Bollywood is planning to remake Mujhe Jeene Do (1963), which starred his father, the late Sunil Dutt.

But there is a twist attached to this remake. Dutt it seems won’t be starring in it and plans to produce it by casting the heart-throb of Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor. In Mujhe Jeeno Do, Sunil Dutt has played the role of a dacoit. Dutt feels that he is too old right now to reprieve his father’s role and thinks that among the younger brigade, Ranbir fits into it
perfectly.

When asked whether the story would be the same, Dutt established that he is changing it to suit the present day circumstances by showcasing Ranbir as a gangster from Mumbai.

Dutt off late is associated with producing movies; at present he is acting and co- producing Rascals with David Dhawan as its director, he is also co-producing Satte Pe Satta with Ashtavinayak.

Looks like its the season of classic remakes for Bollywood; Satte Pa Satta, Agneepath, Seeta aur Geeta and now Mujhe Jeene Do. Wondering, whether there are any other classics in the pipeline to be remade in the later part of the year.
