Amitabh Bachchan's legendary performance as Vijay Dinananth Chauhan in Agneepath won him a National Award and went on to become an onscreen classic act. Now Karan Johar wants to repeat history but with a new face.
Karan Johar's late father, Yash Johar had produced the 1990 Amitabh Bachchan-Mithun Chakraborty starrer, which was directed by the late Mukul Anand. Amitabh had won a National Award for his performance in Agneepath.
Karan has approached Hrithik Roshan to step in to Amitabh's shoes.
A source said, “Karan has been planning to remake Agneepath but he was waiting for the right time. Now, he is confident that his company, Dharma Productions, can make multiple films at the same time. The film will be directed by Karan Malhotra, who Karan thinks is one of his most promising assistants. While some changes will be made in the script to give it a contemporary feel, Karan does not want to change any dialogue as he is very confident of the dialogue in the original Agneepath.”
But the relief is that the movie is in the better hands and one can look forward to it, compared to other remakes like 'Don', 'Sholay'(Aag) which turned out to be flops.
Let’s see whether it creates a path of fire or extinguishes our high hopes.
