Amit Sharma Reveals His Approach To The Remake
Director Amit Sharma has indicated that his version of The Intern will not be a scene-by-scene recreation of the original. Speaking about the project, Sharma said, “My take on The Intern won't be an exact replica of the original. What is the point of remaking a film if you can't take it in a different direction?”
He added that his version will take the story in a different direction.
The project initially had Rishi Kapoor attached to the role that Amitabh Bachchan is now set to play. Following Kapoor's death, Bachchan was brought on board for the part.

Deepika Padukone is gearing up for Siddharth Anand's King, which also stars Shah Rukh Khan. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24, 2026. She will also feature in Atlee's Raaka alongside Allu Arjun.
Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Rajinikanth-starrer Vettaiyan, which released in 2024. He also served as the narrator for Farhan Akhtar's 120 Bahadur. The veteran actor is set to reprise his role as Ashwatthama in Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2, alongside Prabhas and Kamal Haasan.
