Shah Rukh Khan in 'Deewar' Remake

For a long time now, the industry has been abuzz with reports of King Khan supposedly approaching Yash Chopra (the director of the original) with the idea.

And he is urging the veteran to direct the remake as well. But now, apparently, SRK has also lined up a stellar cast for the same.

Sources say he has proposed Saif and Kareena's name for Shashi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's roles respectively and Boman Irani's name for the character Iftekhar played. Shefali Shah who did a pretty good job playing the eternal suffering mother in Gandhi My Father will step into Nirupa Roy's tattered chappals.

The actress for Parveen Babi's role is yet to be finalised. However I am given to believe that Priyanka Chopra may just bag the role. Needless to say, Shah Rukh will play Amitabh Bachchan... and chances are that he'll probably have a fitting response to, "Mere paas maa hai!"
