Debutante producer Saurabh Varma has bought the rights of the Hollywood film Buried that released in 2010. A source close to Varma has revealed that he is planning to have either John Abraham or Abhishek Bachchan play the lead role in the remake.
Varma was quoted saying that he wants an A-list actor for the lead and that they are looking at developing a good script because it is a Hollywood concept, and needs to be adapted for Indian audiences.
Apparently, the producer has already discussed the idea with Arjun Rampal.
Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds played the lead in the original. The film is about an American truck driver working in Iraq. After an attack, he finds himself buried inside a coffin with a lighter and a mobile phone and tries to escape.
