Karisma Kapoor signed as the female lead in ‘Satte Pe Satta’ remake Posted: 05 Oct 2011 11:37 PM PDT After 'Rascals', Sanjay Dutt has all plans in place for his next production, 'Satte Pe Satta' remake to go on floors in December. There had been a lot of speculations about who would be cast as the female lead and the guesses included the likes of Kajol, Vidya Balan, Rani Mukherjee, Aishwarya and even Madhuri Dixit. However, it is finally Karisma Kapoor who has landed up with the role. Karisma is making a comeback on the silver screen with 'Dangerous Ishq'. Says Sanjay Dutt, "Satte Pe Satta is an iconic film. It was a trendsetter in the 1980s. Sir (Amitabh Bachchan) played the dual roles of Ravi and Babu so well, if I can even manage five per cent of what he did, I'll be a happy man." Soham Shah will direct the film and Sanjay plans to request Big B himself to intorduce the characters in the movie.

Prateik Babbar trying to grasp Banarasi diction for his next, ‘Issaq’ Posted: 05 Oct 2011 11:33 PM PDT Prateik Babbar made his debut in Bollywood with 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' in 2008. It has been a slow going since then and Prateik will be seen in 'My Friend Pinto' next. He has also been signed for 'Issaq' which is Shailesh Singh's adaptation of the Shakespearean play. Since the movie is set in Varanasi, Prateik is going through Banarasi Hindi diction classes, doing 'riyaaz' (taking music lessons) and spending hours in the gym working on his body. Elaborating his character in the film, Prateik says, "The character I play kills to survive, so he needs to be lean and agile. We've retained the gist of the story about forbidden love and a family feud, but it's not an exact remake. Director Manish Tiwary has crafted a clever adaptation that weaves in the Naxalite angle." Talking about love and his girlfriends, Prateik says, "The parents of the girls I've dated always approved of me. But if I were to find myself in one, I'd behave exactly like Romeo and do everything he did."
