Book-to-Film: Bollywood takes on The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

This is possibly the greatest news I've heard all week.

I must own this as soon as possible.  

From The Times of India:

The Hollywood hit The Fault In Our Stars, based on John Green's bestseller by the same name, is all set for a Hindi remake. Says Vijay Singh (CEO, Fox Star Studios), which is producing the movie, "The story resonates with the emotions of today's youth and has found universal appeal. We are excited to adapt the film for Bollywood and can't wait to get started." The cast of the film is yet to be decided. The plot revolves around a 16-year-old cancer patient, who falls in love with an ex-basketball player, who is also a cancer survivor.

Stand aside, Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort.  Bollywood is TAKING OVER.

  1. This is so exciting. I feel like I'm more excited about the Bollywood version than I was for the American one.

    1. Haha, me too! I went through a huge Bollywood phase in college, and so this news makes me nostalgic and excited all at the same time. I'm looking forward to it!
