The Borat creator has already discussed the idea with Blake Edwards, who directed the 1968 original, according to Hollywood trade magazine Variety.
The pair met at a screening of the film, which involves a bumbling Indian extra named Hrundri V. Bakshi causing chaos at a lavish Hollywood bash , in California.
Baron Cohen is currently working on a film featuring his gay fashioinista creation Bruno, and is to appear as another embarrassing party guest in the forthcoming Dinner for Schmucks, a remake of the French comedy Le Diner de Cons.
The original was the only collaboration between Edwards and Sellers that wasn’t a Pink Panther film. A remake has previously been mooted, with Mike Myers in the lead role.
