Legal Troubles for 'Zanjeer' Remake!?

‘We sold the rights of ‘Zanjeer’ to Amit Mehra’s father Prakash Mehra for making the film only once. If he wants to remake the same with script re-translated, he should shell out money as royalty for us,’ are the words reported to have said by Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar, the original script writers of ‘Zanjeer.’ Later on Amit met them to take the blessings for remake with Ramcharan but the writer duo isn’t pacified.

Not to wait for any reaction from Amit Mehra, the old writers are to take legal route. ‘We hired a legal team to deal with copy right issues of ‘Zanjeer.’ When Amit approached us for the permission to remake, we wanted to sort out the things amicably. Then he went before media claiming of getting the clearance from us and began the shoot. We are left only with choice of following a legal procedure,’ said Javed Akhtar.
