"I am not a copycat" says Priyadarshan

Accredited for churning out more and more remakes, Director Priyadarshan is busy working on two remakes simultaneously: Billu Barber and other film with Darsheel Safary. Indeed, Shah Rukh's Billu Barber has been shelved for January release.

In the interim, the auteur has geared up with refurbished version of Iranian Film Children of Heaven. Joining hands with Taare Zameen Par fame Darsheel Safary, Priyadarshan is sure about not merely remaking the Iranian flick penned by Majid Majidi. "I would be completely getting away from the original version and this story is set at the backdrops of insurgence in Assam" says Priyan.

Adding more, he says that perfectly modified screenplay and adding more new characters will give a different look for this film. Zia, the cute little girl plays the role of Darsheel's sister and she was selected by Priyadarshan after several rounds of audition.
