Shahrukh Khan will work in 'The Departed' Hindi Remake

Shahrukh Khan will work in 'The Departed' Hindi Remake: We have seen Hindi remakes of American films in the past and some have been great while others have been disasters. The new remake that is being talked about definitely has great potential of becoming a hit.   Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is set to do a film with  Producer Vishal Bhardwaj next year.   If they decide to remake Martin Scorsese's  "The Departed"  SRK will be playing the role Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio plays in the film.    Khan and Bhardwaj have been discussing working on this project for a while now.

Back in February Shahrukh Khan met up with Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio and Director of Hollywood film, "The Departed" at the Berlin Film festival.   Their meeting was  obviously more than they let on at that time.  Reports back then suggested that it was a casual meeting between industry members.   Shahrukh Khan also spoke about how he met  Director Martin Scorses  at the Cannes film festival in 2002 and how Scorses wants to watch Devdas because they premiered it at Cannes that year.

There was no buzz about the project at that time.   But now word is out and it all makes sense.    If this project goes into production it will definitely not happen before 2011.  Both Bhardwaj and Shahrukh are tied up with their own projects.    Shahrukh Khan is very busy with his films Ra. One and Don 2  so he doesn't have time to discuss the project with Bhardwaj.  Vishal is also tied up with his current projects including "Saat Khoon Maaf."   Although he too is eager to discuss working on the remake he doesn't have time to think of it just yet.   "The Departed" is a very popular Hollywood film that was appreciated by the Indian audience.   The public anticipates this project!
