The Fault In Our Stars Author Finds Sushant Singh Rajput's Bollywood Remake An 'Amazing' Idea; Twitter Warns Him To Keep His Hopes Down
The Fault in Our Stars is about two cancer-afflicted teens who meet in a support group and forges a friendship that soon translates into a touching love story.
Yesterday, we had reported about how casting director Mukesh Chhabra had found his heroine in the young Sanjana Sanghi for his remake of The Fault in Our Stars. Sanjana Sanghi has been previously seen in small roles in movies like Ranbir Kapoor's Rockstar, Irrfan Khan's Hindi Medium and Pulkit Samrat's Fukrey Returns. The Fault in Our Stars remake is definitely her big ticket release, and she will be romancing Sushant Singh Rajput in the movie.
If you are a Hollywood fan, you might be knowing that The Fault in Our Stars, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort, is based on a bestseller by the same name. The novel has been written by John Green. Though Chhabra had bought the official rights to remake the movie, the author has been recently made aware of the remake's existence and he found the idea 'amazing'.
Check out his tweet below,
Mukesh Chhabra was quite excited about the author's reaction as he tweeted back, “Wow. Thank You”. Even the newbie Sanjana was elated with Green's tweet as she tweeted, “Wow this happened! Such an honour.”
However, the Indian fans of the Hollywood do not share the enthusiasm about the idea of it being remade in Bollywood, going by the past experience. In the replies to John Green's tweet, they warned the author to not keep his hopes high. Here are some of their reactions,
AR Rahman's music is a (only) plus!
Come on, we have screwed up Sholay and that's sacred!
Nice observation!
She hasn't seen Half Girlfriend, we think...
AR Rahman's scores again!
Errr...heard of La La Land?
Ouch!
Anyway, whether you like it or not, the preparations for the remake is in full swing, as the shoot is expected to begin in the coming days.
The Fault in Our Stars is about two cancer-afflicted teens who meet in a support group and forges a friendship that soon translates into a touching love story. The movie was a huge hit, and Chhabra expects to replicate the success with his first directorial venture.
