MUMBAI: JP Dutta has decided to remake the National Award winning Marathi film, Baboo Band Baaja.

Baboo Band Baaja is the story of a man who plays in a local band to earn a living. He wants his son also to take up the same profession. The mother, on the other hand, wants to provide education to her son. The film shows the irrepressible surge to soar in life, pitted against the vicious grip of circumstances.

Baboo Band Baaja won awards for the best debut film, best debut director, best actress in a leading role (Mitalee Jagtap Varadkar) and Best Child Artiste (Vivek Chabukswar).

Dutta is now finalising the cast and the crew of the remake.
