PVR all set to clinch remaking rights of Escape Plan

Escape Plan
PVR Pictures is in the penultimate stages to bag the Hindi remake rights of the Hollywood action thriller Escape Plan that releases all over India today. Commenting on the development, an official of PVR Pictures said, "We are taking the rights of Escape Plan to be remade in Hindi. Bollywood has a huge appetite for action movies and we feel that finally the audience deserves to watch a true action film." "Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are both the biggest action stars alive and we wish to cast someone for the Hindi version who is a great fit for each of the roles," he added. The representative said that "the convenience of the story and the plot" can easily be adapted for the Indian audiences. "We are certain that this will make for a movie that audiences will look out for. Escape Plan has already been earning rave reviews in the US, and we feel that this coupled with power of the story makes for a rather interesting project for us to be involved with," the official said. Escape Plan follows Sylvester's character Ray Breslin, a structural engineer who is wrongly convicted of a crime, and is incarcerated in a prison of his own design, aided by his cellmate Rottmayer ( Schwarzenegger) for him to escape. The adaptation process may start early December and the film is scheduled to roll mid-2014. If all goes as planned, honchos at PVR are keen to cast John Abraham and Akshay Kumar in the lead roles in the Hindi version. Incidentally, PVR is releasing Escape Plan directed by Mikael Hafstrom.
