Parambrata Chatterjee returns in Hindi remake of Bangla ghost story

'Bhooter Bhabishyat', one of Bengali cinema’s biggest hits of all times about ghosts in an old bungalow who refuse to evict their abode to make way for a shopping mall,released in 2012 is now being remade into Hindi.Satish Kaushik directs the Hindi remake entitled 'Gang Of Ghosts'.
From the original cast of the blockbuster directed by Anik Dutta, only Parambrata Chatterjee who made a strong impact as Vidya Balan’s cop-companion in the cruel climate of Kolkata in Kahaani , will be seen in the remake.
 It is understood that the producers  of the remake Venus and Ratan Jain  made a conscious decision to keep out the original Bengali cast.
Says Satish, “We wanted to completely revamp,  restructure the original Bengali film which is hilarious but not suited to a pan-India market.So we have changed the cast completely.We have Sharman Joshi, Mahie Gill, Anupam Kher, Saurabh Shukla,Rajpal Yadav,Chunky Pandey,Asrani, Vijay Verma, Yashpal Sharma, Rajesh Khattar  and Jackie Shroff. Only Parambrata has been repeated from the original cast.”
Parambrata it might be noted,made a notable impact as Vidya’s silent lover in Kahaani.Thereafter he was slated to play a major role in the Hindi remake of the Malayalam hit Traffic and also a UTV film co-produced by Nikhil Advani where Parambrata was to play against Abhishek Bachchan.Neither project materialized.
Gang Of Ghosts starts shooting on May 2 and wraps up in June.With Gang Of Ghosts Parambrata gets a chance to prove there is room for another Bengali hero after Biswajeet  Mithun Chakraborty to make it to the top in Bollywood.
