Boney Kapoor to produce remake of Egyptian film

Producer Boney Kapoor has taken the rights of Egyptian drama Hepta: The Last Lecture to remake the film in Hindi and other languages in India. Based on Mohamed Sadek’s bestselling book, Hepta..., directed by Hadi El Bagoury, the film revolves around the seven stages of love.

Kapoor said: “India and Egypt have been strongly influencing each other’s culture, arts and architecture since ancient times. It is a pleasure to cooperate with Egyptian cinema. I strongly believe that this is only the beginning and we shall soon be seeing films from Egypt and India being remade in their respective languages.”
