The film of the 1990s, Coolie No. 1 has been revamped with a modern-day twist. Director David Dhawan shares his thought and experience behind re-making the film with Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan.
“It’s my film that I made 25 years ago and the thought of a remake had never come. I had to do something with Varun, and I was thinking what to do. When I asked Varun if he liked this film, he saw it and didn’t answer. He later got a little convinced as it was a very difficult film for him because we have one of the best actor playing the lead role — Govinda — and there’s no comparison. At the same time, Vashu ji said let’s do a remake of the film. And that was also the first film that Vashu and I had done. So that’s how the idea came about,” he says.
Talking about the script, the director says, “When I started to work on the film/ script, I had to redo everything.”
The makers have also released peppy tracks back to back, first Teri Bhabhi followed by Husn Hai Suhana, which have made it to everyone’s party playlists once again.
Adding onto the Christmas cheer, Amazon Prime Video brings the World Premiere of Dhawan’s 45th film.
The film is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh. It also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Javed Jaffrey and Johnny Lever.
On other front, Varun recently tested positive for COVID-19.
