After Bang Bang, an official remake of Tom Cruise-starrer Knight and Day, director Siddharth Anand will recreate another Hollywood film for the Indian audience - Sylvester Stallone's iconic Rambo.

When contacted, Siddharth confirmed the news, stating, “With Stallone announcing his retirement from the Rambo universe, this is the perfect time to reboot the franchise in India. It will be a trilogy. We had the official rights since two years. We are taking the concept of Rambo ahead and recreating it for the Indian audience. We don't have a true blue action hero in India. We've grown up on Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger but today's generation has no one to look up to. The intention is to give them their own Rambo.“

About Hrithik being considered a favourite to play the part, Siddharth added, “Hrithik is always on top of my mind but I haven't finalised anyone as yet. It can be a new actor as well.“
