After replacing Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan in television show Bigg Boss, Salman Khan does it again.

The actor will play Anthony Gonsalves in the remake of Manmohan Desai's Amar Akbar Anthony.

The movie would be produced by Ramesh Taurani, who has acquired rights from Narendra Hirawat and Ketan Desai for the same.

The project is now awaiting Sallu bhai's dates. Salman's brother Arbaaz would be seen as Amar (originally played by Vinod Khanna) and Sohail would step into Akbar's shoes (originally played by Rishi Kapoor).
