The remake of Amitabh Bachchan-Hema Malini starrer 1982 film 'Satte Pe Satta' has been in headlines for a few months now ever since the news of Bollywood biggies Farah Khan and Rohit Shetty teaming up came out. Hrithik Roshan and Anushka Sharma's names are making rounds as the lead pair of the film and TV actor Nakuul Mehta is also part of the cast claimed some reports last month. Farah Khan however recently said that the official announcement regarding the cast will be made soon and till then "let people guess". While everyone awaits Farah's announcement, here's another addition to the cast.

As per a latest report, another popular small screen actor and host Rithvik Dhanjani has bagged role in the remake of 'Satte Pe Satta'. Rithvik is the second TV actor after Nakuul who might be seen playing one of the 7 brothers of the film with Hrithik being the eldest. A source revealed to Pinkvilla, “Rithvik Dhanjani has bagged the role of one of the brothers in the remake.

Asked about truth to the reports making rounds over the casting of Hrithik-Anushka as lead, Farah told IANS last week: "Rohit is producing the film and I am directing it. Unless we come together and make a proper official announcement, everything is speculation. Hopefully, we will make the announcement by Diwali. I am waiting for Rohit, because he is quite occupied these days, finishing the last leg of the shooting of his film 'Sooryavanshi'. Let people continue guessing and the reports run. I would still say those are all speculation."


"Just wait for little more, we will soon announce everything," added the "Main Hoon Naa" director.
