That's right, a Bollywood remake of the Sylvester Stallone-starring classic thriller First Blood is on the way, with shooting set to start early next year.

With the movie being revealed at this year's Cannes Film Festival, it was also announced that Stallone had given his blessing for the remake, stating on Instagram, "I actually get excited in my heart whenever young artists get a rare opportunity to reach for the stars!"

From the single concept poster released so far, which shows actor Tiger Shroff firing a gatling gun, it seems like this is going to be a spiritual remake at best, veering away from the more reined-in, suspenseful thrills of the first movie and more towards the mindless action of the sequels.

Either way, this has the potential to be hilariously terrible, as most Bollywood remakes of Hollywood movies are. If you've never seen Xinda, the Indian Oldboy remake, drop whatever you're doing and check it out right now.
