Arjun Kapoor wants Amit Sharma to helm his next

Last seen in Anees Bazmee's comic-caper Mubarkan, actor Arjun Kapoor has a number of projects in his hand, one of them being the Hindi remake of Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy. According to reports, Kapoor wants that director Amit Sharma, who directed him in Tevar, helms the remake.

A trade source informs, “Amit has just completed another film called Badhaai Ho with Ayushmann Khurrana and Dangal girl Sanya Malhotra. Arjun, who shares a fabulous equation with Amit, has asked the makers to sign him on. Ashwin and Murad Khetani, who are bankrolling the remake, want the flavour of the original retained. They may give in for Amit, but will make sure that the art of the first film isn’t lost in translation."


The title of the Hindi remake has not been finalized as yet but if some sources are to be believed, the makers may lock Arjun Kapoor as the final title because the main character hails from Punjab, unlike its Telugu version.

Besides starring in the Arjun Reddy remake, Arjun Kapoor has mega-budgeted Namastey England, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Panipat in his kitty.

Nana Patekar: 7 moments that revealed the man behind the intense screen persona

Highlights

  • From a feared gangster to a comic underworld boss, Nana Patekar played characters that were worlds apart
  • His most memorable roles often relied on sharp dialogue, distinctive mannerisms and powerful screen presence
  • Parinda and Krantiveer showcased his intensity, while Welcome revealed his flair for comedy
  • Natsamrat brought out a more vulnerable side of the actor in one of his most emotionally demanding roles
  • These seven performances show why Patekar remained difficult to typecast throughout his career

Nana Patekar never needed a conventional leading-man image to leave a lasting impression. Across a career spanning more than four decades, he created characters that could be intimidating, vulnerable, funny, angry or deeply emotional, often within the same performance.

His ability to disappear into vastly different roles became one of the defining features of his career. From dangerous gangsters and determined police officers to ageing theatre actors and comic gangsters, Patekar repeatedly showed that his range extended far beyond the intense persona audiences often associated with him.
