Arbaaz Sohail & Salman To Play Amar Akbar Anthony

Bollywood brothers Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail will recreate the magic of the Seventies blockbuster Amar Akbar Anthony in a remake to be directed by none other than David Dhawan.

The comic caper about three brothers who have been separated during their childhood, had been directed by the late Manmohan Desai.
The plan is to have Salman play the role of Anthony, Arbaaz that of Amar, with Sohail to play Akbar. Katrina Kaif’s name is being thrown around to play the role made famous by the late Parveen Babi. The original Amar Akbar Anthony were Vinod Khanna, Rishi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan, and each of the three actors has done such an excellent job of etching their characters in the film that they will be a very tough act to follow. The task will be made even more ardous by the fact that neither Arbaaz or Sohail are really known for their acting skills. Neither is Salman for that matter, but he at least has stardom on his side. So it will be interesting to see how David remakes this film. Well Davidji all the best to you. Source
