good candidate for a remake?

I saw this movie years ago, and it seems to have disappeared since then. I remember having a HUGE crush on Horst Bucholtz.

However I watched a clip on YouTube and am more then a little embarassed to see Hollywood actors in blackface and phony accents trying to pass themselves off as Indians. This is a pity because the story of Gandhi's assasination and the movie's under-currents of political, ethnic, and religious extremism and its consequences are still pertinent today.

I have never thought much of re-making movies, and Hollywood's track record in this area hasn't been great. But if there ever was a movie that could benefit from being remade, it is this one.

If it were remade, I would like to see genuine Indian actors in the roles. Any suggestions from Indians out there who might be good choices?
