Vivek Agnihotri to make 3rd version of 12 Angry Men

Twenty six years after Basu Chatterji made the courtroom drama Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, Vivek Agnihotri, who was recently in the limelight for his film Hate Story, has decided to make the third edition of the film entitled 12. The original film 12 Angry Men was directed by Sidney Lumet. Though the director tapped Amitabh Bachchan, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni and Kay Kay Menon on the remake way back in 2009, no one was ready to fund an offbeat film then. All the studios, then, were inclined to put their money into commercial ventures.

Twenty six years after Basu Chatterji made the courtroom drama Ek Ruka Hua Faisla, Vivek Agnihotri, who was recently in the limelight for his film Hate Story, has decided to make the third edition of the film entitled 12.

The original film 12 Angry Men was directed by Sidney Lumet.

Though the director tapped Amitabh Bachchan, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni and Kay Kay Menon on the remake way back in 2009, no one was ready to fund an offbeat film then. All the studios, then, were inclined to put their money into commercial ventures.

But Agnihotri was hell bent and determined. And to compliment his efforts, lady luck smiled on him after the release of Hate Story when he decided to roll his dream project.

Accordingly, he talked to the actors he wants in his film like Pankaj Kapur and Naseeruddin Shah primarily. It is said that when Naseeruddin heard about 12, he got excited about the film after recollecting that way back in 1960, jury trials were done away with after the Nanavati case.
