Sushant singh rajput in the remake of the fault in our stars.

Bollywood can never get enough of
remakes. And it's been a while since the
remake of Hollywood film The Fault In Our
Stars has been in news. Earlier, there
were reports of Jhanvi Kapoor making
her Bollywood debut with the film, but it
soon fizzled out. And now the remake is
finally back on track. And it is Sushant
Singh Rajput who has been brought on
board to play the leading man in the Hindi
remake of the hit film.
According a report in Mumbai Mirror, Josh
Boone's 2014 American romantic drama
will have Sushant as the lead. Produced by
Fox Star Studios, the Hindi remake will be
directed by casting director Mukesh
Chhabra, and is expected to roll next year.
A source was quoted as telling the daily,
"Mukesh was the one who introduced
Sushant to Abhishek Kapoor for Kai Po
Che! He had always wanted to work with
him and felt he would be perfect for this
film. He is currently on the lookout for his
leading lady. Though inspired by the
Hollywood film, the script will be adapted
to Indian sensibilities."
Chhabra, who is making his debut as
director, confirmed the news to daily,
"Yes, I am on board for The Fault in Our
Stars remake. I'm working on the script at
the moment. Sushant is the leading man
and we are still in the process of casting
the heroine."
Currently, Sushant is shooting for
Kapoor's Kedarnath in Uttarakhand.

Isn't he a bit old for this? I think the original had teenagers as the protagonists?

Early 20s. Ansel Elgort, who played the male lead, was 20.

Anyways, Sushant has to be incredibly charming for this role cos the role of Augustus Waters is of a boy who is very charismatic and a total sweetheart.

I meant the characters were teenagers. I did watch the film and vagely remember him to be 17 or 18 years old.

Agree that he has to be very charismatic.. and young. Sushant would be a miscast.

Oh yeah ofcourse they were teens in the book/role in movie 😆

Wht BW wants to ruin a good movie? Just why?!

I hope they adapt it well and most importantly I hope Mukesh doesn't screw up.

I am scared of these first time directors... Raabta was Dinesh Vijan's first and SSR was cast... hope things turn out to be better this time

Remake of FIOS has been in news since more than 5 years with new cast every year. Don't believe it.
