Varun Dhawan, who will be seen in the new version of "Coolie No 1", says it is not a remake but the essence of the original film will be retained. Varun's father David Dhawan had directed the Govinda-starrer 1995 hit. "When we do something like this the idea is that the essence has to be the same. But at the same time, the film is completely different. It is not a remake, it is an adaptation. But the title is the same," Varun told PTI.
The actor says the film is currently in the scripting stage. "Work is on for 'Coolie No 1'. The shoot will start in August-September." There is also a strong buzz that Varun will reunite with his "Badlapur" director Sriram Raghavan and the actor teased a possibility."He (Sriram) is one of the best directors we have. There is some talk happening, so let's see."
The actor is busy promoting his next Bollywood film Kalank these days and is making dynamic appearances on various reality shows on television. Recently, the makers of the film also released a video revealing the world of Kalank in which actor Varun Dhawan is seen introducing his fans with what went behind creating the world of this film.
In the video, as Varun Dhawan takes us inside the grandeur of the film, he also states that Kalank is the film that one should only see in cinema halls to realize the grandness of it. The video also features actors Sonakshi Sinha and Javed Akhtar being in awe of the sets. Even lyricist Javed Akhtar claims that it is unbelievable when he gets the first look of the Kalank sets.Have you watched the video yet? Watch it here-
