MUMBAI:
With his last film Paan Singh Tomar garnering both critical
acclaim and audience response, Tigmanshu Dhulia will
adapt William Shakespeare's tragic play Hamlet in Hindi.
The
project will be produced by Goldie Behl and his sister
Shrishti Arya under the Rose Movies banner. Abhishek
Bachchan has been tipped to play the title role.
The
project was first discussed with filmmaker Behl over
a decade, when Dhulia was writing Behl’s film Bas
Itna Sa Khwab Hai in 2001. That's when Dhulia suggested
him a Hindi adaptation of the William Shakespeare play.
"Tigmanshu
and I go back a long way... We started our careers
around the same time in Rose Movies. So it feels great
that he's coming back home but this time as a director.
We both are very passionate about adapting 'Hamlet'
as its the ultimate revenge drama," observed
Behl.
The
last movie released under the Rose Movies banner was
London, Paris, New York.
