An Indian distribution company has acquired the rights to remake Escape Plan in Hindi.

The Hollywood film stars Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger as convicts who plan a jailbreak.

Speaking to the Hindustan Times, Deepak Sharma, chief operating officer at PVR Pictures, confirmed the reports, saying: "Yes, we have acquired the rights to remake Escape Plan in Hindi.

"Bollywood has a huge appetite for action movies, and we feel that the audience deserves to watch a true action film. We are certain that this will make for a movie that the audience will look forward to."

While the film has not yet been cast, John Abraham and Akshay Kumar have been tipped to take on the roles played by Stallone and Schwarzenegger.

"Arnold and Sylvester are the biggest action stars alive, and we want to cast someone who will be a great fit for their parts in the Hindi version," explained Sharma.

Stallone made a cameo appearance in Kumar's 2009 film Kambakkht Ishq.

Escape Plan releases in India on October 18, while work on the Hindi adaptation will begin in December.
