Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will be seen in the remake of South Korea’s 2nd highest grosser ‘Ode To My Father’. CJ Entertainment has sold remake rights to Atul Agnihotri’s Reel Life Productions.
The film will be directed by ‘Sultan’ director Ali Abbas Zafar.
“Some stories fill you with sense of purpose. Ode To My Father is one such story and a fine example of Korean cinema. The Hindi version will only borrow the essence of the Korean film. We are happy with the association with CJ Entertainment and look forward to associate with them on many such projects in the future” Agnihotri was quoted as saying by Screen Daily.
‘Ode To My Father’ is about a young boy’s promise made during the chaos of the Korean War to take care of his family, which ends up spanning 60 years of turbulent modern history.
The remake will be set against the August 1947 partitioning of the British Indian Empire into India and Pakistan. An estimated 14 million Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims were displaced during the partition, seen as the largest mass migration in human history. In the Punjab Province riots preceding the partition, it is believed that up to 2 million people were killed in retributive religious genocide.
Yoonhee Choi, head of international sales & distribution at CJ Entertainment, said “It was so impressive to learn that such a kind of story that is based on Korean history can be adapted to India’s history as well. It’s even more exciting since the legendary Indian filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar and actor Salman Khan will be participating in the film”

Eid 2018 storm coming!!
Big joke indicine!!!!!! Legendary film maker n legendary actor…wtf!!!!!!!!
Next all time blockbuster aamir and Salman khan king of boxoffice
WOW, what a news….
I have not seen this movie but I saw the trailer and read the plot of Korean movie, and believe me its a classic story……Best thing is that Salman is taking the idea of movie and make it on the basis of India Pak partition……This is just superb…
Those who are doubting on Ali skills and judging him on the basis of his one Gunday movie are stupid. Ali won’t get chance to work on big project before, but after Sultan everyone knows that he can make good movie, and I am sure that after Sultan his confidence level will also increase and now with TZH and this movie (Korean Remake) he will also become big director like Kabir and Raju Hirani…..
Salman sir script choice is improve a lot, back to back classics BB, Sultan, Tubelight, TZH, and now this ‘Ode To My Father’ remake……
Great going Salman Bhai…..
Indicine when this movie is going to release after TZH or in 2019, any Idea???
I want to see the remake of OLD BOY but with our Dadaji in the title role…!
Lol
If TZH clicks like Sultan then we may start to consider Ali as a potential Legandary Director but as of now hes got a long way to go…
Awesome
I am not sure if this is only speculation or real ? If it is real then going by plot Kabir Khan should direct it as there is no better man than him to handle India Pakistan topics. I hope it targets Eid 2018. Keeping fingers crossed.
So it will b d biggest hit of d century replacing d legendary blockbuster Gadar. Omg!!! Salman khan:- legendary actor

bt what ali zafar – legendary director.
It must hav got misprinted.
I think this confirms thw rumor that Salmam had a falling out with Kabir Khan, because it was rumored earlier that Kabir would direct this. Now suddenly Ali Abbas is doing it.
The South Korean movies seem to have an impact on hrithik’$ kaabil, amitabh’$ teen, and many others. Atul, sohail, arbaaz can’t make great movies, if they are directors.
What is great about Ali Abbas is that his Sultan has, like Tere Naam, Salman’$ best performance. That’s great to see. I think Ali can bring out great performance from Salman.
I expect Ali to direct Salman to a laudable performance even in Tiger zinda hai. If that happens and Ali makes good changes to the prequel, then a good film like Sultan will be on cards.
wooooohoooooo script is looking epic…
I heard Bhai is just playing some cameo?? is it true??? and what about remo next?
So many movies on real life incidents
Tubelight and OTMF
Also Zinda hai will have a backdrop!!!!
Its risky yet atbb
Wait a minute, how many Pakistani backdrop stories will we have post 2000s?
Gadar
Veer Zaara
CDI
ETT
BB
And now this
India-Pakistan story surely touches audience heart easily
ATB movie is coming in 2018
Kabir Khan should direct film. If it is then ATBB
Excited as a Hell for this one! It’s really Nice to see MegaStar Bhai choosing such Scripts. If it’s Official then they should release it on EID18, I’m more excited for this than D3. Ali has already proven himself as a Talented director with #SULTAN and I’m damn sure he will prove it again with #TZH, Bring it on!
“legendary Indian filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar…”
That’s it I’m dead…!
” the legendary Indian filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar” this line gave me goosebumps.. Lol.. Btw interesting concept hope the execution will also be great..
