There were reports few weeks back that the remake of the evergreen musical comedy Padosan was stalled forever. Sanjay Dutt had been signed on for playing not his father, late actor Sunil Dutt's role in the original but that Kishore Kumar.

Ritesh Deshmukh was finalised for Sunil Dutt's role and Paresh Rawal in Mehmood's role. The film had got stuck even before taking off after Sanjay Dutt's date dairy bungled up.

But now according to our sources, Sanjay Dutt has given the makers a go ahead and the shooting is about to commence from early 2009. Neeraj Vora shall be writing and directing this remake.

But the only glitch now remains is finding a suitable lead actress to reprise the role of sensous Saira Banu. There have been a few top names discussed but again their date problem is being a hurdle.

The makers are considering Mallika Sherawat for the part, but she hasn't been formally approached as of yet.

It would definately be a laugh riot to watch out for what with Ritesh playing the simpleton Bhola madly in love with his Bindoo. His music teacher friend, played by Sanjay Dutt teaching him ways to win her heart. But with a mighty opposition like the South Indian music teacher of hers played by Paresh Rawal.
