In 2017, David Dhawan remade his cult classic Judwaa. Titled Judwaa 2, the film starred his son Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu in the lead role. Now he is all set to once again remake his another directorial. We are talking about Coolie No. 1. David Dhawan will be remaking the film and it will star Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles.
The songs of Coolie No. 1 are still remembered by the audiences, especially Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha and Husn Hai Suhana. And now, David Dhawan has revealed that the track Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha will be recreated for Varun and Sara. The song will be composed by Tanishk Bagchi who is nowadays known for recreating the old songs. While talking to a tabloid, David Dhawan said, “It is an important song for our film, and it has the heart. But times have changed so I am going to picturise it very differently with Varun and Sara.”
Talking about the original song, David Dhawan recollected that they had shot the song in Bangalore. He said, “We found a place in Bangalore with a lot of Bhel Puri stalls and had the lead pair (Govinda and Karisma) strolling through it, exploring ‘Mumbai’. I thought it was the best way to capture the essence of the Maximum City back then.”
Talking about the new version, the director said, “It’s a fun song, showing the growing bond between the couple.” We are sure it will be quite pressurising for Varun and Sara to recreate the song as Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s dance moves had impressed one and all.
The shooting of Coolie No. 1 remake starts on 5th August in Bangkok. It will be for the first time when we will get to see Varun and Sara on the big screen together and we are quite excited to see their fresh pairing. The movie is slated to release 1st May 2020.
