There is a producer who wants to remake the original Khalnayak and there is a producer who wants to make Khalnayak Returns. The filmmaker says since there are producers, who are also keen to remake the original, he is in two minds on which way to go. “We are going to produce three movies next year including, may be a ‘Khalnayak Returns’. Because previously when I gave Karz and Hero, I was not happy with the directors. So we are considering both the proposals,” he said. The 71-year-old director’s previous works like Karz and Hero were remade for the contemporary audience. When Sanjay Dutt comes out of jail after 20 years, what happens to him. While Nikhil Advani’s Hero saw two debutants Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty. “There are many filmmakers who have approached me to remake ‘Khalnayak’. I have to select, who will justify it. Ghai says there are several producers vying to remake Khalnayak but he will be careful about giving away the rights. “We have found a script, but are in two situations. It’s a sequel, about ‘Khalnayak after’ 20 years,” Ghai said. By: PTI | Goa |
