“If you want to make that (same) film, just take the rights, dub it and release it. Don’t do frame to frame, because then what are you adding to it as a director? Don’t think like a remake, just tak🧸e it as a screenplay, forget a film and just make yours. I have seen a lot of times people end up making frame to frame remakes,” he had said.
