Bollywood actor Bobby Deol has been approached to play Kulbhushan Kharbanda‘s role in the remake of Mahesh Bhatt directed film ‘Arth’. Confirming the news, Bobby said, “I am in talks but have not signed it as yet.”

To be directed by actor-director Revathi, the film is likely to go on the floor this year. The film is being produced by Ajay Kapoor and Sharat Chandra. The makers have yet to finalise the leading ladies for the film. There were reports about Swara Bhasker and Jacqueline Fernandez as the two leading ladies did float around, however, there is no confirmation on the same. It is learnt that Taapsee Pannu too was approached by the producers to play Shabana Azmi‘s role which she refused due to her work commitments.

Revathi incidentally had played Shabana Azmi’s role in the Tamil remake of the film ‘Marupadiyum’. Revathi had said that when she was approached to direct the remake she was not sure if she could do it. She agreed to direct it after speaking to Mahesh Bhatt.
