Bollywood flick Khatta Meeta, directed by the ace director Priyadarshan, is said to be a remake of a popular Malayalam film Vellanakalude Nadu which hit the screens in 1990. Mohanlal and Shobana played the lead roles in the film. While Akshay Kumar will play Mohanlal’s role, Trisha will essay Shobana’s character. Priyadarshan, it is believed, has added some real life incidents to the original script and made a few changes to suit the present day audience.

The Khatta Meeta team is currently camping in Maharashtra to shoot the film.
