Now a Bengali-Oriya version of 'Karan-Arjun'

Veteran actor Victor Banerjee is currently busy shooting the Bengali-Oriya film "Kali-Shankar", a remake of Bollywood blockbuster "Karan Arjun" on the theme of reincarnation.

The most interesting part of the bi-lingual is the way the original is being turned upside-down in the remake.

Banerjee, who plays the protagonist in the Bengali version, elaborates: "Director Prashant Nanda has turned the story around. Instead of being the story of two sons (played by Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan in the original) this is about a pair of grandchildren and their grandfather's revenge on their wrongdoers. I play the grandfather naturally."

The film has a lot of stick-wielding action.

"After a long time I'm doing a masala film, and that too in two languages. I haven't done a masala film for a long time," he said.
