All Bakwaas!

How does the thought of Jennifer Aniston of Friends and Brad Pitt fame, crooning Tum pukar lo tumhara intezaar hai strike you?

Well, the scenario isn’t that far off now.

For the first time in the history of world cinema an Indian film is all set to be remade in Hollywood.

And chosen film for this startling cultural makeover is the complex 1969 psycho-drama Khamoshi about a nurse in a mental asylum who falls in love with her patient and finally loses her mind when she can’t get her quota of sexual and emotional succour in life.

To be entitled Silence, this version of Khamoshi will be in the English language. It will have Jennifer Aniston playing Waheeda Rehman’s role. Two major Hollywood actors will play the roles that Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra immortalized.

This startling crossover endeavour will be produced by LA-based restaurateur Sanjay Patel who has already spoken to Aniston.
