Bollywood Director To Remake 'Casablanca'

Indian director Rajeev Nath is making a Bollywood version of the WWII classic Casablanca, which starred Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Berman. Moreover, he plans a premiere of the movie in Casablanca, Morocco itself. "My film will be a tribute to the original," Nath told the Associated Press. "As a student of films, I had watched this great classic 20 times." In the new version, the Bogart character has been changed to an Indian diplomat-turned restaurateur who helps his lover and her husband, both Tamil separatist rebels fighting the Sri Lankan government, escape from India.
