Gurinder Chadha is going places. Flooded with offers, the Bend It Like Beckham director who is slated to direct I Dream Of Jeannie for Columbia Pictures, Nine Wives for New Line, will also direct the remake of a Korean epic, reports Variety.

Called Sassy Girl, the story is about a young man who falls in love with a headstrong woman who moulds him into what she wants and then ditches him.

Sassy Girl will be directed for DreamWorks. Other producers of the project are Guy Oseary, Jay Polstein and Mark Morgan of Maverick Films; and Roy Lee and Doug Davison of Vertigo Entertainment, who will executive produce the film.

Chadha is now in post-production of her Miramax film Bride And Prejudice, starring Aishwarya Rai and Martin Henderson.
