Has he spoken to Bhardwaj, or the film’s leading men about the remake? “There has been no conversation with them [so far]. After we finalise the story, I can call them. I respect Vishal as a director, but most filmmakers are not keen to direct their movies’ remakes.”

Rumours suggested that Khan, who played the memorable Langda Tyagi in Omkara, has been approached for the latest edition. Pandit clears the air, stating, “We have not approached any actor. Both Ajay and Saif are fabulous actors who made Omkara and Langda Tyagi iconic. Since the remake will be rewritten, all the characters may not even be there. I would like to cast the lead from the current generation of actors so that the youth can relate to the story.”
