My Cousin Vinny in Bollywood version
— yaya • August 13th, 2007
I remember back in 1992 watched My Cousin Vinny, a movie played by Joe Pesci as a lawyer who fighting to prove his cousin’s innocence. Turn out, this movie has inspired Ravi Chopra to buy its copyright.
Salute for Ravi Chopra because he knows the importance of copyright, contrary to the earlier Bollywood movies.
Unlike Kyunki Main Jhooth Nahin Bolta (based on Liar Liar played by Jim Carey) and Partner (based on Hitch starred Will Smith), this time Ravi Chopra wanted to do the right thing.
Like he said: “Though it’s loosely inspired by ‘My Cousin Vinny’ (directed by Jonathan Lynn featuring Joe Pesci as a struggling lawyer fighting to free his cousin), we’ve acquired copyrights for the remake. If we’re making a film about the prevalence of the legal system and how the wronged can be subjected to untold harassment if the right legal advice isn’t provided to them, then it was only right that we do the legally correct thing by buying the original’s right.”
By the way, this movie will be starred by Govinda and Lara Dutta.
