Boney Kapoor confirms son Arjun doing remake of Okkadu for Sanjay Kapoor Production

If lineage be the criteria for a career then Arjun Kapoor should have been launched by his father Boney Kapoor. However the heir-apparent of this filmy empire took the unexpected route taken by his predecessor Ranbir Kapoor and decided to start his career with a film outside the home turf. But now having completed his 3-film contract with Yashraj Films Arjun is all set to work with his father. The chosen project would be a remake of the 2003 Telugu blockbuster Okkadu. Boney has approached Abbas-Mustan to direct the Hindi remake. When contacted Boney admitted to plans of bringing his son into a home-production. However there is a slight shift in the home-ground. Says Boney, “I have bought the rights of a Telugu film that I want Abbas-Mastan to direct with my son in the lead. However I won’t be producing the film. My brother Sanjay Kapoor will. So the film would be made under the Sanjay Kapoor Productions banner.” Abbas-Mastan who are currently busy promoting Race 2 are expected to ink the deal with Boney and Sanjay Kapoor after the release of Race 2.
