The
soon
to
be
released
Harman
Baweja-Amrita
Rao
starrer
Victory,
based
on
a
father
son
relationship
and
of
course
cricket
has
already
been
making
waves
in
the
industry.
Adding
to
this
is
the
latest
piece
of
news
that's
speeding
like
wild
fire,
that
Ajitpal
Mangat
(the
director)
has
been
approached
to
remake
the
film
in
English.
We
caught
up
with
him
to
know
more...
"Yes
I
was
approached
by
Terry
Barth
who
told
me
that
a
particular
studio
based
in
LA
had
seen
the
promos
of
Victory
and
now
wanted
to
buy
the
rights
of
the
film." He
further
explains,
"When
Terry
called
me
I
was
swamped
with
work,
so
I
requested
him
to
mail
me
the
details
about
this.
I
was
but
naturally
very
interested
in
this
topic.
Terry
later
explained
how
this
had
come
about."
If
this
was
music
to
the
directors
ears,
he
was
certainly
flying
in
the
clouds
when
he
heard
the
last
part,
"Terry
at
the
end
of
the
mail
said,
'the
LA
studio
wants
to
buy
the
rights
of
the
script
to
remake
the
film
in
English
on
a
different
spot
and
they
are
also
looking
forward
to
you
being
the
director
of
it.' This
was
like
the
icing
on
the
cake
for
me,
what
else
could
I
want,
my
film
hasn't
even
released
yet
and
I
am
already
getting
noticed."
Victory
had
released
its
trailers
and
promos
along
with
the
film
Ghajini
overseas.
With
such
worldwide
recognition
Ajitpal
Mangat
must
already
be
feeling
'Victorious'.
