Abbas-Mustan to helm Vettai remake with Abhishek and John

Director duo Abbas-Mustan will helm UTV Motion Pictures’ Hindi remake of the Tamil hit Vettai that would feature Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham in the lead. Confirming this, Mustan said, ”Yes, UTV has indeed signed us to direct the film. And Abhishek and John will play the leading roles in it. We are yet to decide on the leading ladies.” It is being said in film circles that UTV Motion Pictures which worked with the director duo on Race 2 was happy about their work and subsequently decided to sign them for the remake. But what made the directors who have never been part of any remake say yes to the project? ”UTV asked us to watch the film (Vettai) and after we saw it we really liked the plot and agreed to do it. It’s been quite a long time since Bollywood has made a film on two brothers. The film has a strong plot about two brothers and their relationship,” Mustan added. Earlier, it was said that N Linguswamy, who has directed the Tamil version, would direct the remake with Shahid Kapoor.
