Hrithik Roshan's Satte Pe Satta remake has found its New Title! Find out below

Filmmakers Farah Khan and Rohit Shetty have teamed up to make a remake of the classic comedy film Satte Pe Satta, a Raj N Sippy directorial which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini in the lead roles. While Hrithik Roshan has been locked in to play the lead role, the hunt for the leading lady is still on. With names like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma among others, any official announcement is yet to happen.

While the remake rights of the original 1982 film belong to Rajesh Vasani, of movie marketing firm, Paras Publicity Services, Rohit Shetty Picturez and Reliance Entertainment who are producing the recent remake of Satte Pe Satta have started talks with an international entertainment company for the rights of Hollywood movie, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, which is said to be the origin of Satte Pe Satta.

However, this comes with two glitches, one being that the makers will have to look out for a new title for the remake, and second that they cannot use the character of Babu in their movie.

“There have been reports that Satte Pe Satta is said to be inspired from the Hollywood musical, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954), hence Rohit and Farah will apparently go for the official remake rights. But they cannot make a remake of the 1982 Satte Pe Satta. When the original writers of Satte Pe Satta, Satish Bhatnagar, Kader Khan, and Jyoti Swaroop, had written Romu’s movie, they had created a double role for Amitabh Bachchan. Apart from Ravi Anand (played by Bachchan), the eldest brother, the writers had also penciled in a darker and pivotal character, Babu (again played by Bachchan), and who was also the antagonist. Also, the title Satte Pe Satta is registered with Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association in the name of its sole right holder, Rajesh Vasani, so if Rohit and Farah wanted to make Romu’s 1982 version of Satte Pe Satta, they cannot. So Hrithik will not be able to play a double role like Babu in Farah’s movie”, Bollywood Hungama quoted a source as saying. 

To tackle this problem, the makers have been on a hunt for a new name and reportedly, the Satte Pe Satta remake has found its new title as ‘Sattrangi’. 

“They are not keeping the title and are searching for some other similar titles too – based on the No.7. Rohit Shetty Picturez has already registered the title Sattrangi and Satrangi with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA). Satrangi means the seven colors of the rainbow and will represent the seven brothers. The makers are also not retaining the character of Babu which was part of Satte Pe Satta and apparently, changing the script, so it doesn’t resemble the original 1982 movie,” added the source to the report.

Meanwhile, the female lead is yet to be decided. Who do you think will fit the bill just right? Let us know in the comments!
