Bhushan Kumar said THIS on the remake of the iconic comedy film Chupke Chupke
The 1975 film Chupke Chupke, directed by Hrishikesh Mukherjee, can never grow old. The audience likes to watch the film with the same fervour even after so many decades of its release. The movie is considered to be one of the best comedy movies of all time.
Bhushan Kumar and Luv Ranjan had announced a remake of this hilarious adventure just before the pandemic but kept all other details under wraps. There was speculation that Rajkummar Rao would lead the adaptation, but the makers are yet to make an official statement.
In an interview, Bhushan Kumar confirmed that the Chupke Chupke remake is happening. “We have the rights, but we have to make it a little new age,” says Bhushan, adding further that remaking a classic is a big responsibility.
“It’s a remake, so we are being very careful. It’s an iconic film and we don’t want to ruin the legacy. Luv Ranjan is busy at the moment, and he prefers to write on his own. I think, once he completes the work on the Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor film, he will move on to Chupke Chupke,” Bhushan adds.
While Luv Ranjan will be writing the film, there is still no information about the direction of this remake. Bhushan marks off, “I think we should have all of it in place by next year.”
For the unversed, Chupke Chupke stars Dharmendra, Amitabh Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Jaya Bachchan, Asrani, David, and Om Prakash in pivotal roles, and the film balances its ensemble cast so that each character contributes something to the main storyline.
