Known for remaking Hollywood superhits (think Knight and Day to Bang Bang with Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif), Sidharth Anand is now ready to remake yet another Hollywood film, and this time around it is Sylvester Stallone's action adventure, the Rambo series.
The director feels that it is the perfect time to reboot the Rambo franchise in India, considering that Sylvester Stallone has officially retired from the Rambo universe.

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.

Speaking about the actor who would do justice to the iconic Sylvester Stallone character, Sidharth said,
"Hrithik is always on top of my mind but I haven't finalised anyone as yet. It can be a new actor as well."
