Himesh Reshammiya mulls remake of Masoom with Abhishek and Aishwarya

For his third film, producer singer Himesh Reshammiya is mulling with the idea of remaking the 1983 made Shekhar Kapur directed film Masoom. And for the same, he wishes to cast the husband wife pair of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. It is said that he wants them to essay the roles that Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi had played in the original. The story of Masoom resolved around a happily married couple Indu (Shabana Azmi) and DK (Naseeruddin Shah) and their two daughters Pinky and Minni. The tranquility of their life is shattered when DK receives word that he has a son from a short-term affair with Bhavana (Supriya Pathak) during his visit to Nainital when his wife Indu was about to give birth to their first child Pinky. Bhavana did not tell DK about this since she did not want to disturb his life. The rest forms the crux of the story. It is said that Himesh has asked National Award winner Bedabrata Pain, known for films like Amu (2005) and Chittagong (2012) to helm the remake. Gulzar has been assigned to write the screenplay and the lyrics. The project is awaiting a nod from the Bachchans.
