'Abhimaan' remake with Aishwarya-Abhishek hits a hurdle

Filmmaker Rajiv Menon had recently announced his plan to remake the 1973 movie ‘Abhimaan’ with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles.

However, if the latest buzz from tinsel town is to go by, the project may not materialize as planned because Pawan Kumar – producer of the original movie starring Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan – is not willing to part with the film’s copyright.

The script of the 1973 movie is being reworked and given a contemporary context. Kumar does not rule out the possibility of approaching Ash and Abhi again for the film.

So if thing go as planned, Ash and Abhi would still be a part of the ‘Abhimaan’ remake, but with a different producer and director.
