The remake had initially faced some opposition with the original film&#39;s writers raising objection, but the matter was sorted out recently. The new &quot;Zanjeer&quot; is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia of &quot;Shootout At Lokhandwala&quot; fame and starring Ram Charan, son of South superstar Chiranjeevi.u00a0 <img alt="" src="http://www.mid-day.com/imagedata/2012/mar/amitabh123456.jpg" style="width: 400px; height: 324px; " /> Bachchan, 69, recently met them while he was at Film City shooting for an ad. &quot;While on set I learnt that &#39;Zanzeer&#39; the II was being shot on an adjoining floor and that Charan the hero and its maker Apoorva Lakhia wanted to visit me. &quot;Charan is a very successful star in his own right in Telugu cinema, he is the son of superstar Chiranjeevi, a dear friend. I met them and wished them well. The producer is Prakash Mehra&#39;s son Amit... The rights belong to Mehra and they have the right to make or remake what they like. I cannot have a say in it,&quot; Bachchan wrote on his blog. &quot;I worked as an artist in the film and got my remuneration for it. Over! Seeking my opinion would be incorrect.. For this I can only give my very best wishes. I do hope they will make a successful film. It is a compliment to the film being remade it was worthy of remaking when you had a hand in making the original. How many films do carry the benefit of a remake, is what needs to be appreciated also,&quot; Bachchan added. Big B was starred opposite wife Jaya Bachchan in the original film along with yesteryear actors Pran, Ajit and Bindu. Actress Mahie Gill has been roped in to play Bindu&#39;s character Mona in the remake.u00a0
