Actor Franka Potente, who played the lead in the German movie “Run Lola Runâ€, gave a shout to Taapsee Pannu and the team for the film's Hindi adaptation "Looop Lapeta".
The 1998 German original featured Potente opposite Moritz Bleibtreu and narrated the story of a woman who needs to arrange 100,000 Deutsche Mark in 20 minutes to save her boyfriend.
Pannu's "Looop Lapeta", which released on streaming service Netflix on February 4 and also features Tahir Raj Bhasin, is the official remake of "Run Lola Run".
Potente, who has gained wide recognition for her appearances in “The Bourne Identityâ€, “The Bourne Supremacyâ€, “The Conjuring 2†and “Anatomyâ€, sent Pannu her best wishes in a video message.
"Hi guys, this is Franka. I think it is so exciting that you're shooting a remake of ‘Run Lola Run' after all these years. I am honoured, I think it's really cool so I just wanted to wish you good luck. Good luck to Taapsee, I'm sure you'll be amazing and I can't wait to see the film," the 47-year-old actor said.
Pannu, who shared the video on Twitter, expressed her gratitude to Potente.
"This makes it special looooooop number of times! Thank you, Franka! It's launch day for #LooopLapeta & here we have the OG Savi, loooped along to win our hearts," she said.
