Shah Rukh Khan-Katrina Kaif Romance A Remake Of ‘Daag’?

A lot of buzz has already been generated over Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif being romantically paired opposite each other for the first time in a movie to be directed by veteran director Yash Chopra, who makes a comeback after many years.

Sources now claim that the film, which is untitled as of now, is rumoured to be the remake of the 1973 film Daag starring Rajesh Khanna, Rakhee and Sharmila Tagore, which incidentally was directed by Yash Chopra himself. Moreover, the original film Daag was also said to be an adaptation of the novel ‘The Mayor of Casterbridge’ by British author Thomas Hardy.

It seems that Aditya Chopra himself came up with the idea of remaking the old film and giving it a modern twist. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan and Katrina Kaif, the film also stars Anushka Sharma, who made her Bollywood debut opposite SRK himself in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
