Karisma Kapoor to play Hema Malini's role in 'Satte Pe Satta'

By this time, everyone is aware that Karishma Kapoor is making a comeback into films with Vikram Bhatt’s ‘Dangerous Ishq’. No sooner she announced her comeback, she started getting film offers.  It is heard that she will step into Hema Malini’s shoes and enact her part in ‘Satte Pe satta’ remake to be directed by Soham Shah and produced by Sanjay Dutt.

At first, they were keen to sign Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vidya Balan but when both of them declined, they approached Karisma Kapoor. The actress read the script and liked it.

The source added, "Sanjay wants a very Indian looking girl. After Aishwarya refused to work in the film despite Dutt trying hard to convince her, Dutt had approached his ‘Lagey Raho Munnabhai’ costar Vidya Balan. She too had declined the offer.”

The source further added, “A few days before he spoke to Vidya, Dutt had spoken to Karisma who at the time had clearly told him that she was not interested in making a comeback."

Let’s see how Karisma could impress her audience in her second innings.

Madhuri in, Aishwarya out

Rumours flew thick on how Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's refusal to greenlight Satte Pe Satta had forced the producers Ashtavinayak and Sanjay Dutt to push the remake of the Amitabh Bachchan-Hema Malini film to 2012.

But there was a windfall for young director Soham Sha who got none other than Bollywood's dancing diva Madhuri Dixit to say yes to him. Says Soham, "I was always keen on Madhuri playing Hema Malini's role in my remake. However, I was hesitant to put the proposal forward wondering if she would accept it. Looks like someone up there was listening because Dhillin Mehta and Baba (Sanjay) who are co-producers sent Madhuri a message. I sent her the script and I was ecstatic when she agreed."

Sanjay is also happy that Madhuri, who he holds in high esteem as an actor, and one of the most professional artistes he has known, will be part of his second home production. Soham confirms that the film will go on floors in mid-June and will be completed in a 45-day continuous schedule.

"After this, we will have two songs remaining to be picturised which we will do when Madhuri returns." Dhillin Mehta says, "Honestly, the Sanjay-Madhuri pair has its own charm. We are delighted that we were able to get her to say yes to us. Sometimes things work out for the best. We are happy to announce this film on her birthday today."
