<p>Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who starred in the 1973 blockbuster "Zanjeer", says he has no opinion on the remake of the film and rather takes it as a compliment that the movie is getting made again.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The remake had initially faced some opposition with the original film's writers raising objection, but the matter was sorted out recently.<br /><br />The new "Zanjeer" is being directed by Apoorva Lakhia of "Shootout At Lokhandwala" fame and starring Ram Charan, son of South superstar Chiranjeevi.<br /><br />Bachchan, 69, recently met them while he was at Film City shooting for an ad. "While on set I learnt that 'Zanzeer' the II was being shot on an adjoining floor and that Charan the hero and its maker Apoorva Lakhia wanted to visit me.<br /><br />"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 Prakash Mehra's son Amit... The rights belong to Mehra and they have the right to make or remake what they like. I cannot have a say in it," Bachchan wrote on his blog.<br /><br />"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. 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," Bachchan added.<br /><br />Big B was starred opposite wife Jaya Bachchan in the original film along with yesteryear actors Pran, Ajit and Bindu.<br /><br />Actress Mahie Gill has been roped in to play Bindu's character Mona in the remake.</p>
