"Amitabh Bachchan has claimed plans to remake his 1973 film Zanjeer are flattering. The original film saw the veteran actor taking on the role of a man out to avenge his parents&amp;#039; deaths. He wrote on his blog: &amp;quot;While on set I learnt that Zanjeer II was being shot on an adjoining floor and that Charan the hero and its maker Apoorva Lakhia wanted to visit me. &amp;quot;Charan is a very successful star in his own right in Telugu cinema, he is the son of superstar Chiranjeevi, a dear friend. I met them and wished them well. The producer is [original director] Prakash Mehra&amp;#039;s son Amit. The rights belong to Mehra and they have the right to make or remake what they like. &amp;quot;I worked as an artist in the film and got my remuneration for it. Over! Seeking my opinion would be incorrect. For this I can only give my very best wishes. I do hope they will make a successful film.  &amp;quot;It is a compliment to the film being remade it was worthy of remaking when you had a hand in making the original. How many films do carry the benefit of a remake, is what needs to be appreciated also.&amp;quot; Bachchan admitted last month that he found it strange to be in front of a film camera again after his abdominal surgery. The Bollywood legend was operated on for an injury he had first sustained on the set of his 1983 film Coolie. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
