Few days back, Fillum reported that Karan Johar is keen to re-make his father’s 1990s flick, Agneepath. But can you guess who could be the natural choice to play Amitabh Bachchan’s role. No, not Abhishek Bachchan! But he is Hrithik Roshan to play Sr. Bachchan’s role in a Agneepath remake.
Well, Karan when decided for re-make Agneepath, he immediately locked, Hrithik Roshan. As per source,
“When the idea of re-making ‘Agneepath’ came to producer Karan Johar, he right away locked in on Hrithik Roshan. It was a commitment to the actor, who is very keen to give his own interpretation to the character.”
However, it was presumed that Abhishek Bachchan will play the character of Vijay Dinanath Chauvan, and Jaya Bachchan would play Vijay’s mother. The original cult was directed by Late Mukul Anand. As per source,
“Hrithik will play it closer to Al Pacino in ‘Scarface’ than Mr. Bachchan in ‘Agneepath’. Agneepath”, it would be recalled, was deeply influenced by “Scarface”. The remake, written and directed by debutant Karan Malhotra purports to pay homage to “Scarface”.
Karan’s Agneepath will be featuring solo Hrithik Roshan. Karan Johar says,
“All I can say is that my ‘Agneepath’ is radically different from the ‘Agneepath’ that my (late) father (Yash Johar) produced. We’ve completely done away with the south Indian character played by Mithun Chakraborty in the original.”
“My father was very proud of Agneepath. I hope I don’t let him down with my version of the film. Amit-ji had won the National award for it, it’s a tough act to follow for any actor.”
