After making a successful foray into Bollywood with Kedarnath (2018) and Simmba (2018), Sara Ali Khan has become many filmmakers’ favourite. While her second film Simmba is still raking in money at the cash counter, fans are quite curious to know what she is going to sign next.
Recently, there were reports that the newcomer has been roped in for filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s next film. But since no official announcement has been made, we cannot really say whether the news is true or not.
The latest rumour has it that Sara has been cast to play the female lead in filmmaker David Dhawan’s next directorial venture. The film will be a remake of the director’s 1995 blockbuster Coolie No. 1. Varun Dhawan is, reportedly, playing the male lead in the comic-caper.
“Varun and Sara will share screen space in the former’s first home production. It will be directed by David Dhawan, who had also helmed the original. This will be the first film to roll out under their banner The One Entertainment. The team wanted a new jodi (pair) for the comedy and the Dhawans felt Sara would be apt for it,” a source close to the development reveals.
The source goes on to add, “They were in talks for some time and had approached her even before Kedarnath hit the marquee. The idea is to adapt the original and modernise it. The 23-year-old will step into Karisma’s shoes, but the makers are changing the character sketch a bit and making it even more prominent in the remake.”
If all goes well, the Coolie No. 1 remake will begin production in mid-2019.
