Big B who has committed for Raj Kumar Santoshi’s mega-starrer Power, has also accepted to do a film that is a remake of a famous Belgian movie, Oscar-nominated film Iedereen Beroemd (Everybody’s Famous that was directed by Belgian director Dominique Deruddre. The untitled Hindi movie that will be produced by Rakesh Omprakash Mehra is based on a father-daughter relationship.

Apparently, Big B is keen to do this film based on father-daughter. He has played dad in films like Mohabbatein, Sarkar and Waqt but the last two were father-son films. In Mohabbatein, though he played father to Aishwarya Rai, there was hardly an emotional confrontation between them in the film. This Belgian film is the story of a father who dreams that his daughter will be a successful singer one day. The producer says, “When I saw the Belgian film I was completely bowled over. The father-daughter story is so Indian. We immediately sought out the rights and purchased it. Only Amitji can play the father. The hunt is on for a 17-year old girl to play his daughter.”
