The interesting thing is that Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha starrer film is itself a remake of Yash Chopra directorial 1963 released Rajesh Khanna starrer 'Ittefaaq'. However, the Telugu makers are not keen to take the original one's rights but they are keen to remake the newer version.
Now why they want the rights of the newer version, on this one source has told that newer version of the film has a different plot and concept. This version has crisper and thrilling moments and this has excited the south film industry people.
