Salman Khan’s production house as acquired the rights to the Hindi version of Marathi film Mulshi Pattern, which released in November, according to a report by Mumbai Mirror. The remake will purportedly feature Salman’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma and filming is expected to commence by mid-2019.
The publication has quoted a source as saying, “Earlier this week, Salman had a meeting with Aayush at his office to discuss the project. They have yet to finalise the director and the hunt is on for the leading lady. Unlike his debut film, Loveyatri, which was a love story, this one will see Aayush in a more serious avatar. He will start training in action soon.”
The original film is based on real-life incidents of farmers from Pune’s Mulshi taluka turning to crime out of frustration with their state of poverty. Some eventually went on to form and lead gangs. The film has been directed by Pravin Vitthal Tarde and stars actors such as Mahesh Manjrekar, Mohan Joshi and Upendra Limaye.
The Hindi version will also be a crime drama and is allegedly loosely based on the underworld.
