More info on HR Farah Rohit movie

The original Satte Pe Satta (1982) was produced by Romu Sippy and directed by Raj N Sippy and the remake rights are with Rajesh Vasani, of movie marketing firm, Paras Publicity Services. Apparently, Rohit Shetty Picturez and Reliance Entertainment who are producing remake of Satte Pe Satta, started talks with an international entertainment company for the rights of Hollywood movie, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers (Satte Pe Satta is said to be an adaptation of that) and are in the process of finalising the deal.

Says a trade source, “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 pencilled 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 ofSatte Pe Satta, they cannot. So Hrithik will not be able to play a double role like Babu in Farah’s movie.”

The trade source adds that while the deal with an international entertainment company has been finalised for the remake rights and pre-production of the movie has started, a few changes are happening. “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 titleSattrangi and Satrangi with the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA).Satrangi means the seven colours 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.”

Satte pe Satta means Seven on Seven. And Satte pe Satta had AB Sr and his six brothers(seven) and Hema and six other girls for the remaining brothers. While there were also twist, which I won't say, as you seem to have clearly not seen Satte pe Satta, so not spoiling it for you.

Fools these mortals be!

Satte Pe Satta was a copy of 7 brides for 7 brothers.

Just like Ghajini Hindi and Tamil were copies of Memento.

So it won't be satte pe satta remake

Who is this Romu person? Why din't they buy from him only ?

Satte pe Satta as Happy Place said had a copied the basic plot of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, but they added a totally new sub plot which wasn't there in the original.

Babu was creepy as hell and the most interesting character in Satte Pe Satta. Hrithik would have probably done maa behen of the role so it's probably for the best that the character won't feature in the new film.
