Producer Murad Khetani, who has bankrolled many projects including Kabir Singh, has acquired rights to the South Korean cult classic Miracle in Cell No. 7 which originally stars actors Ryu Seung-ryong, Kal So-won and Park Shin-hye.

According to a daily, the filmmaker recently acquired the rights and is planning to first lock a director for the Hindi remake before pitching the remake to the A-list actors.

In the 2003 Korean smash hit, a mentally challenged man wrongfully imprisoned for rape & murder befriends the hardened inmates of his maximum-security prison, who band together to help him see his daughter. The film was based on a real-life incident that occurred in 1973.
