    MUMBAI: Uday Chopra is all set to have an international version of YRF’s 2005 hit Bunty Aur Babli. With a re-written script in hand, Chopra is planning to remake the film in Hollywood.

    The film is all about two rather lovable crooks who venture into many adventures like the fake selling of the Taj Mahal. The film draws comparisons to the American classic Bonnie and Clyde. However, there were no dark elements in the film.

    Chopra has already aligned himself as producer for two projects – Peter Glanz‘sThe Longest Week and Olivier Dahan‘s Grace of Monaco. But he says he has also begun work on a Hollywood version of Bunty.

    Chopra, the youngest son of the renowned Bollywood producer-director Yash Chopra, recently launched his family‘s film company Yash Raj Films in the US with plans to produce Hollywood films.
