MUMBAI: Director Blessy is mulling with the idea of casting Amitabh Bachchan in the Hindi remake of his Mohanlal-starrer Pranayam.

"The final discussions are going on and we are looking for Amitabh Bachchan for the movie," the director said.

The film had Mohanlal, Anupam Kher and Jayaprada sharing screen space. Bachchan is being tipped to play the role that Mohanlal essayed in the Malayalam original.

Pranayam is a love story involving a beautiful woman and two men. “They had to convey some strong emotions in a subtle way and I had to maintain a certain balance. This prompted me to think about these superb actors who have been stunning us with their performances over the years,” he added.

The director is awaiting to talk to both Kher and Jayapradha to discuss other casting possibilities in the remake.
