Salim-Javid Permission Must for 'Janzeer' remake - AARBAZKHAN

                                                          

Talented director&actor Arbaaz Khan, whose father Salim co-scripted the film Zanjeer, feels that it's important to take the consent of all the people who were part of the original while remaking a movie. The remake of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer has been in news regarding copyright and royalty issues. Both –Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar - who scripted the original, have been fighting for the intellectual rights of the new version. "It's important to take consent while making a remake and more so if the person has the rights of the film. There are times when writers either relinquish or give out their rights. In this (Zanjeer) case the remake rights were with dad and Javed saheb... so if this film had to be made so at least their approval should have been taken," Arbaaz told PTI. "They should have been taken into consideration and then the film should have been made," he said. he added "I will not like to comment much on that as it's technical, my father knows it more and I feel it's not right for me to say something. I think the matter is sub-judice so for me to comment on it is not fair," Arbaaz said. Earlier, the writers had complained to the Film Writers Association demanding Rs six crore from the makers of zanjeer
