Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

He has approached Hrithik to play the brooding Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, which was played by Amitabh in the original.

Karan Johar is all set to remake the blockbuster, Agneepath. While he had to pay an astronomical amount to buy the rights of the Hollywood blockbuster Stepmom, which he is remaking in Hindi, he does not need to buy the rights to remake Agneepath as it is his home production. His late father, Yash Johar had produced the 1990 Amitabh Bachchan-Mithun Chakraborty starrer, which was directed by the late Mukul Anand. Amitabh had won a National Award for his performance in Agneepath.

Karan has approached Hrithik Roshan to step in to Amitabh’s shoes.

A source said, “Karan has been planning to remake Agneepath but he was waiting for the right time. Now, he is confident that his company, Dharma Productions, can make multiple films at the same time. The film will be directed by Karan Malhotra, who Karan thinks is one of his most promising assistants. While some changes will be made in the script to give it a contemporary feel, Karan does not want to change any dialogue as he is very confident of the dialogue in the original Agneepath.”

“Surprisingly, Karan has not approached Abhishek Bachchan to play Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, which was played by the actor’s father in the original. While Hrithik is still deciding if he wants to star in the remake, Karan is sure that Hrithik is the perfect choice. However, the Dharma Productions team is yet to decide on the actors who will play Krishnan Iyer MA, played by Mithun Chakraborty, and Kancha Cheena, played by Danny Denzongpa, in the original,” added the source.

Karan Johar and Hrithik Roshan remained unavailable for comment.

Ashok Vashodia, Hrithik’s business manager, said, “Karan and Hrithik are extremely close. They keep discussing various projects. However, I am unaware of any offer as far as Agneepath is concerned.”

hopefully this is another bakwaas article, hrithik wud be great in a slick and stylish gangster role (farhan missed the trick in Don) … but Agneepath is too noisy and a mannerism prone film to be even worth of making a remake … that too by a debutant director.

on the topic of this post – agneepath was such a class movie. I think it needs a decade or 2 more before its remade. But I would love to see Karan make a gangster movie with Hrithik.

Agnepath is one movie ,i dont believe can be recreated along with Sholay and DDLJ…I Belive this is the best Amitabh performance in his career(Evenif he hammed to glory )…Mithuns’ performance in the movie can never be recreated…It was a clasic…

I wonder if Karan will take SRK for Mithun’s role. Remeber his films ‘must’ have SRK (Dostana was too realistic), so if Hrithik is playing BigB, then SRK must be playing Mithun.

Gorilla 18 June 2009

BOI: If true, it will be unfortunate because while Agneepath’s remake will be mistimed, Hrithik will be a miscast

There are many stories in the media that Hrithik Roshan will star in the remake of the 1990 Amitabh Bachchan and Mithun Chakraborty starrer Agneepath. According to reports Karan Johar will produce the film. The 1990 Agneepath was produced by Yash Johar under the the Dharma Productions banner.

The trade is much more sceptical about such venture happening. A distributor in Delhi says “I would be very surprised if they are remaking Agneepath because as far as i can remember the film was flop in most of the country and we have seen the results with Umrao Jaan when an unsuccessful film was remade. If they are remaking the film i think there will be a lot of changes from the earlier film and the film will look a lot different. Also although Hrithik Roshan is a superstar he would not really suit the role palyed by Amitabh Bachchan in Agneepath. Ajay Devgan would be the more apt choice and would fit into the role perfectly.”

It remains to be seen how much truth there is in the news but as yet nothing has been confirmed by either Karan Johar or Hrithik Roshan.

ACHILLES 18 June 2009

An ideal casting for an Agneepath remake will be Devgan as Bachchan and Akshay as Mithun.

Only then the result would be same as the original – a box office flop.

HR is more suited for the stylish gangster and would have been perfect for Don instead of SRK, but being “Vijay Deena Nath Chauhan”, Fur get about it.

Sorry Rocky bro, would never ever ignore you.

We all knew Rifle but the thing was we did not know that she was called Rifle. This pan dabba in front of our college gates, we all used to sit there and gawk at his wife thinking if she looked like this now, how did she look during her prime time.

Was talking about that with my friends the other day , Ramu was around 8 years senior to us so the name did not pass through to us, but she was hot with 2 kids, so could imagine what she was before that.

ACHILLES 18 June 2009

Rocky – agree whole heartedly that it will b foolish for hrithik to agree to this, bachchan’s agneepath role and the adulation was the culmination of his superstardom, where mannerisms were enuf to make the role legendary. On top of it the story is not suited for contemporary time, thus no need to mess up with yester year’s masala movies.

Whats the point in remaking a movie that was not even a hit in the first place? Despite national awards Agneepath had a shoddy run at the box office.

As for hrithik, it will interesting to see him in a gansta role … he not only has the charisma/screen presence but also good acting skills to pull it off. His fan following can ensure box office returns.

Bacchan fans will never accept anyone doing these cherished roles like don or agneepath by anyone – be it a de niro or pacino … except for his laadla where they will extrapolate or imagine some sort of similarity. But Bachchan’s bigger than life roles like this will be totally misfit for the non-acting or no-expressions from his son (which fans have learnt to praise as ’subtle’ acting).

ACHILLES 18 June 2009
09:21:46 am

Well that was a young hrithik trying to imitate the likes of Govinda and Salman under Barjatya’s instructions … the imitation was surely as bad as the originals.

But if Hrithik does agree to do this, a lot more surprises will be in store for a few. Hrithik is unpredictable and surprising … he was breezy as a middle class guy next door and a NRI in KNHP, a loud mentally challenged boy in KMG or innocent naive in Krrish that were both endearing to the kids by large, or extra stylish and charismatic in D2 or royally majestic in JA … all these varied range was competently acteded by the same guy to ensure big box office hits.

After the initial dip in his career, he has always rose up to the occasion to deliver the unexpected and raising his status, esteem and fan following with each movie since KMG. If agneepath is his next surprise, so be it – but first there needs to be official confirmation to these rumors.

Johny 18 June 2009

SB gems

TheSkeptic: Since KJo is steadily gayifying his father’s legacy, Agneepath with Hrithik sounds logical. Hrithik will play a salsa-dancing don with a crush on his right-hand played by John Abraham.

Well said Rocky.

Hrithik is not even fit to play Mithun’s role. But in a gangster role he may suit but then anything not directed by Papa Roshan is a risk. He was pretty average in K3G in a guest appearance or maybe a little more.

I was watching – Aei jaatey hue Lamhon , Zara thero from Border last sunday.
there is a scene in that song where Sunil Shetty comes out of the house and his company men are waiting for him- suddenly his wife come running and hugs him- Now very subtly- All the men turn their backs to this – if you don’t pay attention you might miss it as I did on numerous previous occasions., But this time I noticed and realized how much pains these directors take to make the scene as realistic as possible. which sometimes we as viiewres do not even notice.

While on Agneepath, the audience could not understand the fine nuances of his husky and whispering dialogue delivery.

The makers later requested him (which he did) to dub the film in his normal voice but by then it was too late. Maybe today Agneepath could have been a pathbreaking film in the original style.

Rocky I noticed this masterstroke and amazing cinematic experience during first dekho itself(not boasting myself here) and it made an instant impact on me in the theatre. The same song has many glorious moment which spellbounded the viewers in the theatre. The lyrics, direction was an ace.

‘Main kahin bhi rahoon aye sanam,
tujko hai zindagi ki kasam

KJO’s Agneepath would need to be renamed as Agneephat. Just a subtle shifting of letters would do it.
Baaki, the only novelty of the original was the voice of Amitabh. Very risky move which didnt pay off for those times. Unfortunately, no one has the voice to even attempt that in this day and age. Already shrill voices will become shriller. Aur acting to koi match hi nahi kar payega.

TheSkeptic: And to Rocky, nothing hit me. Except perhaps for the realization that the time is up for employing only one kind of language here. Unless you have been dozing off for the past few months you will notice that there has been a change of climate in these parts. And a facility with languages of both greater and lesser refinement are required if one is to successfully deal with this climate. When barbarians are breaking down the gates, one either swallows some poison or one becomes a barbarian. I have chosen the latter in the interests of adaptability.

And thanks johny and don, the epitome of barbaric invasion is NG threads getting hijacked by SB comments.

ACHILLES 18 June 2009
06:37:57 pm

Since we are discussing gangster roles, here is my two cents.

Someone mentioned Neil Mukesh in Gohny Gaddar as gangster role? thats a joke for sure, that guyz role was more of a petty thief. Yes the movie was a slick one, well made. But Neil was weakest part of it, mainly due to weak dialogue delivery and no screen presence. Had Raghavan casted a more charismatic actor in the lead, the movie had the potential of attracting the youth and become at least a hit at box office.

When i say stylized gangster, its more like Farhan’s Don … SRK imo did very well, he has unique mannerisms in such anti-hero roles that makes him a mean avataar, that comes out well. But the problem with casting SRK in Amitabh’s Don was not mannerisms, acting or even body language. It was due to the difference in the physicality of the two actors. SRK was two too many inches shorter to remake a amitabh role.

Being more exposed to post-bachchan hayday era of bollywood, the original Don did not exite me any more than Farhan’s version. But I can understand the impact of the original in its time. The only gangster character that made impression on my mind is Devgan in Company – the sharpness of body language, dialogues, intensity of eyes, etc made it apt and memorable … his act gave an impression that malik could quash the overacting oberoi with just a mere glance.

The next one wud be Dutt in Vaastav, sadly i didnt see such intensity in any other works of both Devgan or Dutt. I am not sure how hrithik will fare in such roles (though i am 100% confident Hrithik wud have ben the best mordern day Don) … the main reason is I dont think hrithik will ever chose to do such a dark movie, which has minimal box office prospects. He is more interested in making a career full of blockbusters.

Akshay despite his physicality will be a miscast as he lacks a serious personality and the masses accept him only as a comedian much like Govinda. His latest serious attempt in Tasveer is a failure in all accounts.

If Aamir had the height, he wud surely have made a good gangster. But then he is even smaller, oops i mean shorter than SRK!

I don’t know whats the fascination of people with remakes, that too remakes of movies like Don, Agneepath. NO matter what the BO record of Agneepath was, it is a genuinely admired movie of BW, and that too rightly so.

Which was the last successful remake in BW?? and by successful I mean both critical and BO wise.

Try doing sequels, remakes mein sirf gaali milti hai. And if Karan is so hell bent on remaking Agneepath, take Abhishek, atleast there would be one site which will give good numbers that Amitabh can post on his blog.

Gorilla 18 June 2009
10:34:45 pm

agree with Kunal (i hope he is serious) that Abhishek will fit into Agneepath or Don kind of roles better than Hrithik or SRK. (Hate clubs please ignore this statement.)
Ofcourse here I am assuming his Yuva or Bluffmaster kind of personality, not the Guru one.

Bash 18 June 2009
10:37:55 pm

This news can’t be true. Impossible! Karan Johar and Agneepath??? NO WAY!

“After the kind of Flak SRK got for DON, I would be surprised if Hritik will says yes to this misadventure.”

I guess the passionate disapprovals that new Don got from staunch Bachchan fans was mainly because it did well. Had it flopped as much as they had hoped, it wouldn’t have been discussed.

Not many understand that Farhan and SRK’s assertions that the new Don character was INTENTIONALLY made Travoltaish and cartoonish.

I had always thought Hrithik would have been stylish in the real sense rather than the flauntingly on your face kind of style that was attempted. But Hrithik’s body language in Luck By Chance has been a suprise. May be, he would have suited more than SRK.

RAJ 18 June 2009
11:03:43 pm

Well..Agneepath was a BO dud when it released and even DON was a not a BIG hit either…The only thing with DON was the script was quite contemprory in nature…Hence it could be remade..Its SRK s charsihma which pulled the movie through..I sincerely belive new Don was a bit better thyan Old one..

Coming back to Agneepath,it was a stale script even at that time…But Amitabhs charishma and performance which took the movie to a different plane…(Audineces never liked the copied voice modulation of Amitabh from some HW actor,initially.. )I dont think audinces now would be interested to watch such a ghisa pitta script and moreover HR (Any current actor for that matter) would be complete miscast in the role…

Some were talking about Abhishek fitting in to the role..Well i completely disagree..Abhishek would make a mess of it(As he does in allmost all his movies)…This role require a lot of hamming which i believe even Ajay Devgan is incapable of..

Kunal 18 June 2009
11:07:40 pm

Bash, I do agree that mannerisms of SRK were ver Face-off-ish, but the whole attire was actually gayish. If he had been in simpler clothes, and those kind of mannerisms, he would have been as deadly as Travolta in face-off, but at the same time I must tell you that catching up on Travolta is not an easy feat.

They wanted to show SRK evil personified, as in someone who gets saddistic pleasure in pain, and is kinda mentally imbalanced, but it just didn’t come out that way. You watch Cage in his introduction in Facce Off, and then watch SRK making his entrance in that Ballet scene in Don, different levels altogether.

Lets just say that their intentions were right, but execution wasn’t.

And Gorilla, I was not serious about Abhishek being in remake of Agneepath, though you are absolutely right to say that Abhishek will fit in lot better than any of the contemporary actors, and will even get more favorable response from media in general, but then seriously, why a remake???

RAJ 18 June 2009
11:12:37 pm

To add to my earlier post,Agneepath was presented stylishly by the director (Mukul Anand if i am right)even at that time…Towering perfromances from Amitabh,Mithun and Danny made the movie a classic…The dialogues were fantastic and lot of credit should go the Dialogue writer too…

I like the scene where Amitabh emerges from the sea to meet Kancha seth…That was a heck of a scene which is etched in the memory…

Arun 18 June 2009

I love that scene at the dinner table with Rohini Hattangadi. Subtle but highly impactful. Amitji was absolutely brilliant in that scene. Also, the one at Vikram Gokhale’s house. The movie was a bit uneven (songs were a put-off) but there were lots of such brilliant moments involving Amitji.

“. But Bachchan’s bigger than life roles like this will be totally misfit for the non-acting or no-expressions from his son (which fans have learnt to praise as ’subtle’ acting).”

Totally agree. Abhishek had messed up a few meaty roles with non-acting, whereas his father would try to take every normal role to a lofty level. Pity both have the similar physical attributes – height and intense looks.

Re.-whereas his father would try to take every normal role to a lofty level

all I have to say is-

Tu kitni achhi hai, tu kitni bholi hai
Pyaari pyaari hai, amaa amaa
Kitni BHOLI hai, kitni sheetal hai
Nyaari nyaari hai, amaa amaa
Pyaari pyaari hai, amaa amaa

Agreee Arun- the way he says- Kaat ke Phek dega is simply superb.
Even the scene at the cofee shop where he creates scene is superb.

Abhishek Bachchan would be a terrible terrible choice for reamaking Agneepath.

Does anyone expect the Nicholas Cage of Face Off in SRK? if that was the case then SRK wud not be considered the King of Luv.

None of the Khans can even come close to a Travolta or a Cage in action movies, even if they chose to spend their entire fortune on platform shoes.

But agree that its foolish to make a remake of a flop film, or even expect a blockbuster by taking Farhan’s version of Don forward. YRF is on the right track of not trying to make a dhoom 3, as ramping up dhoom 2 in style or action would be very difficult given the premise of the franchise. Even a third munnabhai is a difficult proposition as expectations will be sky high and even decent efforts with crumble in front of gigantic expectations. Hirani is better off doing a 3 Idiots instead of Munna chale america.
