MUMBAI, Oct 6 (bdnews24.com/Reuters) - An Indian producer is remaking 'Cellular', the 2004 Hollywood movie about a kidnapped woman who calls a stranger off her mobile phone and begs him to save her life.
'Speed', which is being directed by Vikram Bhatt, is the latest Indian movie to borrow from the West.
"It is a very unpredictable film with a lot of twists," said actor Sanjay Suri, although many of those twists will be familiar to fans of the original, which starred Kim Basinger.
Other Hollywood homages include 'Partner', a recent box office hit, which was modelled closely on the Hollywood movie 'Hitch', starring Will Smith.
'Akele Hum Akele Tum', 'Kaante' and 'The Killer' are adaptations of 'Kramer vs Kramer, 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Collateral' respectively.
Hollywood in turn has recently been looking to thrillers and horror movies from eastern Asia for inspiration.
