Zanjeer Remake directed by Apoorva Lakhia

A new trend in Bollywood seems to be remaking Amitabh Bachchan’s old classics. Farhan Akhtar remade Don and followed it up with a sequel. Karan Johar remade Agneepath, which was a huge success at the box-office even though the original Bachchan film failed commercially.

Now, director Apoorva Lakhia, director of films like Ek Ajnabee and Shootout at Lokhandwala, is likely to remake one of Amitabh Bachchan’s best films Zanjeer (1973). The shooting for which, is likely to begin in the month of April.

Zanjeer was originally produced and directed by Prakash Mehra. It also featured Jaya Bachchan, Pran, Ajit and Bindu. The film, written by Salim-Javed, was a box-office blockbuster.

The big suspense regarding the actor who will reprise Amitabh’s role is yet to be revealed.

  • No actor has potential to wear amitabh’s shoes neither srk nor hrithik and agneepath’s success is not due to hritik its a commulative performance of sanjay dutt,hritik and rishi kapoor and karan malhotra the director who made this remake intelligently.

  • Dear SKY ,your saying means you hate Hrihik and this shows your mental status.By the way,no film is runned by one actor but there is a lead actor in each and every film and that lead actors attract audience.For eg.Three idiots,In this film there was excellent direction by Hirani and Boman irani and omi vidya and has acted better than Amir khan but Amir has taken all credit of Three idiots’ success.

  • Only Hrithik can do justice to Big B’s role.Hrithik has proved in Agneepath.It will be foolish decision if Khan is taken for the role in Agneepath.

  • only Akshay kumar will be best in that role. no doubt!!and he’s the only actor who have 4 superhits shoulder-to shoulder with amitabh bachchan- EK RISHTAA, KHAKHEE,WAQT, AANKHEN. nobody has such a record…means akki is the only follower.people with brains will understand what i meant!!!

  • Hi all ”RAM CHARAN” is going to do lead role in ”zanjeer” He is the hero of south indian biggest hit movie ”MAGA DHERA” which is also going to be remade in hindi with ranveer singh…

  • There is only one Amitabh, his roles in most of his 1970s films were extraordinary. There are so many good actors currently in Bollywood BUT No actor can come near the star status of AB. However, in our view, Mr. Ajay Devgan would be most suitable to replay the excellent role played by the great Amitabh Bachan in 1973.

  • Only one and one ” Ajay Devgan ! “…..dear Khans fans plz watch earlier …devgans ..Singham …the legend of bhagatsingh….gangajal..Hum dil de chuke and many more..

  • only one khiladi kumar means akshaykumar is a perfect choice for remake of janjeer no other actor compare to akshaykumar for said lead role.i.e.khakee, mohra etc.it’s perfect role of police officer.
    i wish akshaykumar to play a lead role of remaek of janjeer

  • Hey fools. Its telugu actor ‘Ramcharan Tej’ who is going to step in Big B shoes. No doubt that Ramcharan will justify the remake. Watch his telugu film ‘Magadheera’ to kno his stamina. Undoubtedly he can beat all Bollywood actors through his Perfoqmance. Go Charan Go…
