Steve Carell is all set to take on the work of Peter Sellers, according to reports.

Carell, a longtime fan of the Pink Panther funnyman, is said to be negotiating a deal to remake 1967 film The Bobo, which originally starred Sellers and Britt Ekland, with himself in the lead role.

A source tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "Carell is a huge Sellers fan, and this is one of his favourite movies. Seeing him in a matador outfit with a Spanish Castilian accent could be very funny."

Eva Mendes is said to be favourite to take on Ekland's role in the new version of the comedy.

Steve Martin has already starred in the remake of the Pink Panther, another of Sellers' famous works.
