    It's official: Bollywood to make remake Hollywood film

    Mumbai (PTI): Good news for movie buffs tired of watching "unofficial" Hollywood remakes, `inspired' movies.

    Mukesh Talreja and Nikhil Advani of Orion Pictures are in talks with Warner Brothers to remake Hollywood blockbuster "Wedding Crashers".

    The company is in talks with two big actors to play the lead in this remake.

    "I have seen `Wedding Crashers' and think it is a great property that would certainly lend itself to a Bollywood remake and I am very happy that we will be doing this in the right way in association with Warner Brothers," Talreja said.

    Blaise Fernandes, Warner Brothers India said, "We are talking to Orion Pictures on the possibilities of remaking `Wedding Crashers'. Orion has shown keen interest in this project and they have lined up some of the best talent for this project".

    Warner Brothers will also take legal action against any party who plans to remake this film in concept or as a remake, according to sources.

    A trade warning in this respect about the remake rights of the film with Warner brothers will be sent out, sources added.

    Warner Brothers is also presenting Orion Pictures' Akshay Kumar starrer "Chandni Chowk to China" in association with Ramesh Sippy Entertainment.
