Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif in Siddarth Anand film: Confirmed

Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif have been signed to play the lead in the remake of Hollywood film Knight and Day. The film will be directed by Siddharth Anand, who has previously directed films like Salaam Namaste, Ta Ra Rum Pum, Bachna Ae Haseeno and Anjaana Anjaani.

Talking to us, Siddharth says “Yes, I will be directing the film. Initially, it was supposed to be a remake of Knight and Day (Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz), but certain points in the film didn’t work for me. When it released, Knight and Day was a very popular film and I didn’t want the Indian audience to just watch a remake.”

To rework the script, Siddharth worked closely with Kahaani writers Sujoy Ghosh and Suresh Nair. A source close to the project informs “They have re-worked the script with Sujoy Ghosh and Suresh Nair. Major changes have been made to the storyline and it will be a completely new experience for the audience. The basic idea of Knight and Day remains, but with several new twists and turns.”

The film will be shot in India and Europe. The music is expected to be composed by Vishal-Shekhar, music directors of all Siddharth Anand films so far. The title of the film that goes on floors in February 2013, is yet to be confirmed.

This will be Hrithik’s second film with Katrina after the hugely successful Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Stay tuned for all the updates on the action thriller, that’s expected to release late 2013 or early 2014.

  • i really didn’t like knight and day so i don’t think that it will be a success and more importantly hrithik shouldn’t have to do the remakes……

  • BTW original isn’t that good but it had all the masala which
    Masses love.If they will do some good changes according
    to that suits both class & mass than no one can stop this movie
    from becoming a BB.BTW Hrithik alone can guarantee Its huge
    success.

  • hey guys just read it our properly it is given that they reworked on d script and it is accomplished by d script writer f kahani which was an amazing movie no i can trust them blindly go and make it hrithik…..bas ab wait karo jis din ye movie aayegi bawal hoga…

  • hrithik releases only 1 film per year but still its a disaster.like guzarish and kites.he thinks himself as khans and releases only 1 film but he didn’t know that khans have great fan following and hrithik has zero fan following.

  • GONNA BE MASS BLOCKBUSTER for sure. Movie’s script has everything for Indian Single Screen audiences. Though Multiplex audience may find it OTT mindless Entertainer. All the Best to Hrithik & team.

  • this remake will be bigger hit simply for the fact that the original didn’t do well, so the makers would surely bring some freshness to the subject to cater to the mass audience..same like the old agneepath, which was a flop, but the new agneepath did exceedingly well…so here is hrithik ready to explode with two prospective blockbuster in krissh 3 and knight and day remake…..i m excited….

  • @nakul, i never commented here.. maybe its some one who is using my my name…
    Any way its a good choice coz atleast this movie would better than shitty south mindless remakes..

  • But i don’t know, if this trend continues in bollywood soon this industry will be the laughing stock coz of no orignality…

    • The big difference between South and Hollywood remakes is.. south remakes are usually scene-to-scene ripoffs. Having watched Knight and Day, only the core storyline is likely to remain the same. The treatment will be completely different.

  • sure shot blockbuster…this movie gonna be create history at box office…hrithik rockss…dying to see hrithik and kat chemistry…

  • i wanted someone plz tell the original storyline..i never watched hollywood movie…so plz someone tell the story plz…..

  • agneepath original = flop
    hrithik agneepath =blockbuster

    knight and day original=flop or average, i think..
    Hrithik knight and day will be blockbuster…

    This’s called a true superstar…love you hrithik..

    Is any other actor can do like this??
    Can any actor has de guts remake a flop movie .??

  • Mumbai: Actor Hrithik Roshan will be seen romancing Katrina Kaif once again in the Hindi remake of the Tom Cruiser starrer Hollywood film ‘Knight and Day’. ‘Knight and Day’ is a 2010 romantic action comedy Hollywood film starring Cruise and Cameron Diaz. The film, directed by James Mangold, had received mixed response.

    Now, Fox Star Studios is all looking forward to make the desi remake of the Hollywood film ‘Knight and Day’. It is reported that the Hindi version of the film will have new twists and a whole different storyline.

    “We are making that film in Hindi. I can’t talk much about the project as it is too early,” Vivek Krishnani, Fox Star Studios, Head of Distribution marketing and syndication, told PTI.

    Hrithik has been signed up to play Cruise’s character, while Katrina, who was last seen on silver screen opposite Salman Khan in ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, has been roped in to play the role earlier played by Cameron Diaz.

    “We have signed Hrithik and Katrina for the Hindi remake of the film,” Krishnani said.

    The Hrithik-Katrina pairing in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ was received quite well by the audience.

    Presently, Hrithik is busy with his much-awaited project ‘Krrish 3’. “The film will be directed by Siddharth Anand and will go on floors next year,” he said.
