Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan immortalized the character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan in the 1990's blockbuster 'Agneepath'.After two decades, film producer Karan Johar is ready to revitalize the role with today's superstar Hrithik Roshan.
Although, it was a dream of Amitabh's son actor Abhishek Bachchan to play the character but he was not even offered up.
Hrithik is said to be Karan's first option to play this character, where he will be seen playing an international criminal.
This character of 'Dina Nath' garnered a national award for Mr. Bachchan. Karan Malhotra will direct the remake of Agneepath.
Previously, it was believed that Abhi will be playing the role played by Big B and Jaya Bachchan will be seen in the character of his mother.
The sources said, "Abhishek Bachchan was never approached for the role in the remake version. Debutant Karan Malhotra will be writing and directing the remake of the movie. The character of Hrithik will have an influence of Al Pacino in 'Scarface'." The failure of Abhishek's recent release Raavan may be one of the reasons of not being selected for the role.
The choice of Hrithik is acceptable given his international looks, which is perfect for the movie as he will play an international gangster with a chic and happening look. The interesting character of Krishnan Iyer M. A. will be missing in the remake, which was played by another veteran Bollywood star Mithun Chakraborty.
