he needs one hell of change in the script and has to do some really great casting of actors
miscasting may loose the whole grip of the movie

very good job as micheal..also wut about the young days of vito..deniro has just lived in
the role..not sure how rgv is going to recreate the magic on the bollywood screen..may be
he needs one hell of change in the script and has to do some really great casting of actors
miscasting may loose the whole grip of the movie..another aspect is about the music..godfather

Ram Gopal Varma is about to be unoriginal - with a Hindi film version of The Godfather that will star no less than Amitabh Bachchan.
"My next directorial venture, Sarkaar , is my faithful version of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather . Bachchan plays the role immortalised by Marlon Brando," said Varma.
" Sarkaar will start in August or September. I always wanted to do my own version of the story. In spirit, I want to remain as close to the original as possible.
"According to me, The Godfather has nothing to do with the mafia or the underworld. It's about a patriarch and his family honour.
"My film will deal with high politics. The underworld will only be a tool in their hands. Apart from Bachchan I haven't decided the rest of the cast as yet."
What happened to Varma's plans to direct the big-budget espionage thriller Ek ?
"With India and Pakistan extending a hand of friendship to each other, Ek with its theme of international terrorism seems politically incorrect. I decided Ek isn't so relevant at this moment."
Like the postponed Ek , Sarkaar will be produced by high-flying financier Bharat Shah.
Incidentally, two years ago Mahesh Manjrekar had planned to remake The Godfather in Hindi as Kutumb with Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Abhishek Bachchan for producer Feroz Nadiadwala. The project got shelved.
Feroz Khan had made the first Hindi version of The Godfather in the early 1970s. Entitled Dharmatma , it starred the late Premnath in Brando's role. Ever since, various versions of the film have been attempted.
Varma and Bachchan might now come up with a unique version of the story.
The filmmaker has just about wrapped up his first film with Abhishek called Naach . The Abhishek-Antara Mali starrer is rumoured to be a remake of the Chinese film, In The Mood For Love .
Varma is amused. "Never heard of this Chinese film in my life. Naach is very much an original film. I've never made an unoriginal film in my life.
"But now I'm about to," he says, referring to The Godfather spin-off
