Toplined by Govinda and Karisma Kapoor, Coolie No. 1 (1995) is an iconic film that still remains one of the most favourite comic-capers of millions of cinephiles across the world. Recently, the makers of the original movie announced their plans of remaking it with Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan and fans’ joy has known no bounds ever since.
After locking Varun and Sara for playing the lead roles, the makers are now busy roping in actors for the supporting cast. The latest we hear that veteran actor Paresh Rawal has been approached to play an important role in the flick.
According to reports, Rawal is in talks to play the character which late actor Kader Khan played in the original movie. Last seen in URI: The Surgical Strike (2019), Paresh Rawal is a versatile actor who is also known for his great comic timing. If he agrees to come onboard, we are sure that he will do complete justice to the role which acting great Kader Khan played in the 1995 film.
Renowned filmmaker David Dhawan, who directed the original film some 25 years ago, is returning to direct the remake as well. Varun Dhawan will be turning producer with the project, which is being co-produced by Vashu Bhagnani.
Coolie No. 1 remake is set to hit the marquee on 1st May 2020.
