After ‘Dangal’, another film of Aamir Khan inspires a new television series

A few weeks back, stories regarding Mr. Perfectionist Aamir Khan‘s blockbuster film ‘Dangal’ being remade as a teleseries were doing the rounds. And now, if recent reports are to be believed then yet another Aamir film, ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’ is all set to be remade into a television series.

According to a report in DNA, the ‘Dangal’ adaptation will be called ‘Kesar’ while the serial inspired from ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’ is going to be titled ‘Papa By Chance’. A source close to the development was quoted saying in the report as, “It is not exactly the story of the Aamir Khan-Juhi Chawla starrer, but there is a similarity in terms of the hero becoming a father by chance. He is this aimless guy without any care in the world and when a tragedy occurs, his family decides to give him charge of three children to inculcate a sense of responsibility in him. So far, they have finalised Zebby Singh as the male lead and the three kids are Ishant Bhanushali of ‘Hanuman’ fame, Arshifa Gunjan and Sidhartha Dubey. They are yet to finalise the female lead.” 

‘Dangal’, which released in 2016, was a biographical sports drama film in which Aamir played the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat, while actress Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra played his daughter, Geeta and Babita.

Whereas, ‘Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke’ that released in 1993, was a romantic comedy directed by Mahesh Bhatt. The film starred Juhi Chawla opposite Aamir and also featured kid Kunal Khemu.

Now, it will be interesting to see how the makers of the teleseries are going to treat the story of these two hit Aamir Khan films. Till then watch this space for more.
