Akshay Kumar and Abhay Deol who were to play the roles essayed by Dharmendra and Sanjeev Kumar in the original will have to follow suit. Mumbai Mirror has learnt that the remake that was stuck due to the Sippy family feud will soon go on floors now that the fight has been resolved.

When we had spoken to Katrina about the Seeta Aur Geeta remake a few days before she left for London to shoot Yash Chopra's next, she had told us, "I don't know what is happening on that film." "But now, Bohra can definitely go ahead with that film.

I have told him that we Sippys are now on the same page. Also, I am meeting Bohra next week," GP Sippy's son Suresh's nephew Sascha told Mumbai Mirror.

"We are also very pleased to announce that our younger cousin Shehzad, Suresh Sippy's son has joined the team," Sascha added. Suresh's son Shehzad said, "I am very happy that we are moving forward.

I'm glad to be working with my cousins Sascha and Shaan. All issues and misunderstandings between us have been resolved.

We are withdrawing the case. The process for that has been initiated.

" Explaining how they ended the fiasco, Suresh said, "We are one family and we decided to put an end to our personal differences." The end of the Sippy family feud also paves the way for the conversion of Sholay into 3D.

Ketan Mehta's Maya Digital was working upon the version supposed to be presented by Jayantilal Gada of PEN India. Put off by the legal hassles of the Sippy family, Subhash Ghai who was supposed to partner Mehta in the project had opted out of it.

Flashback The Seeta Aur Geeta remake had run into legal hassles over licensing issues. Producer GP Sippy's son Suresh had raised objections against GP Sippy's grandsons, Sascha and Shaan , claiming that they had no right to license the Seeta Aur Geeta remake (February 7, 2011).

Sascha had then told us, "The matter is actually in court. The Delhi High Court has in fact restrained Mr Suresh Sippy from infringing our copyrights in several films, including Seeta Aur Geeta.

" Suresh had said, "Speak to my lawyers. The matter is under dispute.

It is going to the Mumbai High Court." But on being questioned further, he said, "Why just Bohra, I don't want anybody to remake Seeta Aur Geeta at this point of time since I have not licensed the remake.

The rights belong to me." (less)
