Akshay Kumar
Akshay Kumar will be seen romancing the ‘Rockstar’ actress
Nargis Fakhri in the remake version of 'Shaukeen'. Akshay will reprise the role
of Mithun Chakraborty and Nargis will step into Rati Agnohotri’s character. Basu
Chatterjee's 1982 comedy 'Shaukeen' starring Mithun and Rati Agnihotri was a
blockbuster. The makers have brought the right of the movie.
This is the first time Nargis and Akshay will be paired opposite each other. The script has been rewritten to suit today’s audience taste. The makers are in the process of finalizing dates with the actors.
In the original, Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dutt and AK Hangal were shown attracted to the much-younger Rati Agnihotri in 'Shaukeen'. In the remake, Annu Kapoor, Paresh Rawal and Anupam Kher have been signed for the three old men roles.
The film will be shot in Thailand and the film is expected to go on floor later this year.
After the completion of ‘Shaukeen’ remake, Writer-director Rumi is keen to remake Chatterjee's another film 'Lakhon Ki Baat'.
