Himesh Reshammiya has negotiated for the remake rights of Shekhar Kapoor’s classic Masoom (1983) from the original producers Chanda Dutt and Devi Dutt. The original film starred Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi as a couple, grappling with the reality of an illegitimate son in the husband’s life. The tearjerker, which had melted hearts across the nation, is based on the Erich Segal’s book Man, Woman and Child.
The remake would be directed by Bedobrata Pain whose historical drama Chittagong last year received lavish critical acclaim. Himesh wants Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan to play the two roles immortalised by Shabana and Naseer. According to a source, Abhishek and Aishwarya have agreed in principle to be in Himesh’s remake. “Now the details are being worked out,” the source said.
