The industry was buzzing a few years ago when the Indian adaption of popular US sitcom The Last Man Standing was announced. The Indian version was helmed under the banner of Shashi-Sumeet Productions and was supposed to air on Star Plus, before getting canned. Due to certain reasons, the project got shelved, despite shooting the pilot.
Now TellyChakkar has got exclusive information about the weekly show getting revived. According to a source, the production house and the channel is keen to revive the project. To play the protagonist Mike Baxter, the makers are approaching big names. Apparently, Bollywood biggie Jackie Shroff has been approached for the character. Apart from him, Chunkey Pandey and Sharat Saxena have also been approached for the same character. Though the 61-year old actor hasn’t given a final confirmation, a source claims, “Shroff’s dates look a little busy which could be the reason for his declination.”
The makers have also approached Supriya Pathak to play Vanessa Baxter, the female protagonist. However she has declined the role as of now.
