Sometime ago the news had been out that Abbas-Mustan will bring an Indian version of a popular Hollywood flick ‘The Italian Job’. Grapevines then had it that the film will bring in Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor together, along with Neil Mukesh and Katrina Kaif.

The current buzz about this Hindi remake is that it will also have Priyanka Chopra, Akshay Khanna and Kunal Kapoor; dismissing Bebo rumours.

According to the film’s screenplay writer Rohit Jugraj, the Hindi version of ‘The Italian Job’ has been considerably changed, in spite the fact that the producers and Abbas-Mustan have bought the remake rights. “For one, the stakes for the heist are much higher. The situations, fights and adventures are all different - and so are the characters,” added Jugraj.

On the other hand Abbas-Mustan too confirmed that the script has undergone a lot of changes, though in spirit their ‘The Italian Job’ will remain the same. Revealing about the casting, the duo stated that they have not yet locked in the entire cast, but are indeed in talks to rope in the above mentioned stars. “It’s a very big project and we need to get the biggest names in place before we start,” said the filmmakers.
