When Karan Johar and Guneet Monga announced the Hindi remake of the French hit, The Intouchables, speculations were rife about who would play the two male leads.

While the original film revealed in the unlikely camaraderie between an elderly wheelchair bound man and his black nurse, Mirror has learnt that the Indian adaptation will revolve around two young actors in the same age bracket.
