Coy Subhash Ghai

I was reading an article about the different remakes being planned in Bollywood. These include a remake of Karz, with a new and an original title called Karzzzz. It will be made with our very own nasal heart-throb Himesh Reshmaiyya. It seems that the remake was first proposed to Subhash Ghai, who refused it saying that it will not be correct to remake a film like Karz!

And I was thinking, wasn't Karz "inspired" by "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud"?

So it is ok to remake a Hollywood film in Bollywood but it is not ok to remake that film with other actors?

Perhaps, Hollywood can remake our Karz first, and then we can remake their remake?

Actually, remaking (or making) anything with Reshmayiyya bhaiya sounds like a bad idea to me but then it seems that Bhaiya ji has legions of fans.
