Himesh Reshammiya is back, and the way. While he's back to composing for a variety of films, he's also taking his stint as a producer quite seriously. Once he would wrap up shooting of Khiladi 786, he would also begin work at the Hindi remake of Punjabi blockbuster Jatt & Juliet, the rights of which he has acquired.
''While such a lot of filmmakers are running down South to select up films for remakes, Himesh has wasted no time in heading North and finalized a Punjabi film Jatt & Juliet. He could be remaking the film under his banner HR Musik", confirms a detailed associate.
The film's cast is yet to be decided and though Himesh may be acting in Khiladi 786 in conjunction with Akshay Kumar, it's yet to be seen who faces the camera for Jatt & Juliet remake.
"There can be a statement on this regard soon but something is sure, identical to Khiladi 786, even Jatt & Juliet remake would have A-lister hero and heroine", the associate adds.
When released a couple of weeks back, Jatt & Juliet turned out to be the most important blockbuster within the history of Punjabi cinema because it also broke the record of Bodyguard up North. Now that Himesh has all-India plans for the film, it should be seen how far he goes in making it suitable for universal audience.
A source adds, "THE VERY FIRST THING that he's doing on this direction is to compose music for all of the album. The film would have music at the lines of Namastey London which also had a Punjabi base to it."
Riding high at the success of Bodyguard music still doing well, 'Chalao Naa' from Bol Bachchan gaining good popularity, 'Go Go Govinda' [OMG - Oh My God] doing well on this festive season and Son Of Sardaar carrying good reports, Himesh is excited to be scoring well at the music front. Now with the rights of Jatt & Juliet being acquired, it'd be interesting to peer if the film reverses the fad of South remakes and brings Punjabi remakes in vogue.
