Hollywood was, is, and will always be an incessant source of inspiration for our Bollywood filmmakers. And the latest Hollywood movie that seems to have caught the industry's fancy is none other than “The Fault In Our Stars.”

For a while now, much has been talked, discussed and speculated over the Hindi remake of this film. The latest we hear is that Fox Star Studios and Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films have decided to rope in “Finding Fanny” director Homi Adajania to helm the Hindi adaptation of this Hollywood blockbuster.

Says Dinesh says, "For me, the core of this story has resonated at a very personal level. It's an out-and-out love story based on such a beautiful premise."

Vijay Singh, CEO of Fox Star Studios says, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of film, like Eric Segal's Love Story was for an earlier generation. This story has connected with this generation deeply and universally. It is a big responsibility for us to get it right and make an inspiring, heartwarming film for Indian audiences."

“The Fault In Our Stars” is a story about two terminally ill people who fall truly, deeply and madly in love. The film traces their extraordinary journey.

Talking about Homi, Dinesh says, "The protagonists have contempt for anything conventional, share a hilarious cynicism and have an exceptionally unique outlook on life. For me all this reeks of Homi! So it was a no brainer to offer this to him."

And Homi is more than thrilled to accept this project, "It's a story that I really feel needs to be told here. For me it's poignant at a time when we are consumed by technology and are manically running this make-believe race we think is Life. We are such profound idiots to actually believe we have unlimited time here!"

The film is likely to start rolling from March 2015 onwards.
