New Delhi, April 6 (IANS) Warner Bros, the producers of Oscar-winning reverse ageing drama “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” have issued a public notice Monday against any adaptation or remake of the Brad Pitt-starrer.
The news came in effect after reports suggesting that Bollywood producer Vipul Shah is filming “Action Replay” - a comedy on the same lines with Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead.
“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”, directed by David Fincher, also starred British actress Cate Blanchett as Pitt’s ladylove. It received 13 Academy Award nominations this year and walked away with three awards.
