‘Padosan’ remake: Sanjay Dutt wishes to cast Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana

It’s raining remakes in Bollywood. Now, as per a report in Mid-Day, Sanjay Dutt is planning to remake his father Sunil Dutt’s cult comedy ‘Padosan’. He has also acquired the rights from a leading distribution company. The report suggests that Sanjay is interested in playing Kishore Kumar in the remake.

Mid-Day quoted a source saying, “The friendly banter between Kishore Kumar and Mehmood was the highlight of the film. While Sanjay is interested in playing Kumar’s iconic character Vidyapati, he hopes to rope in Govinda for Mehmood’s Masterji act.”

The source further added, “He is also toying with the idea of giving it a twist — the story will apparently see a rapper pitted against a young man who practises classical music, with Vidyapati and Masterji acting as their mentors. He wishes to cast Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana for these roles.”

If this happens to be true, it would be a treat to see Sanjay Dutt, Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana together.

On the professional front, Sanjay Dutt will be seen in movies like ‘Shamshera’, ‘Panipat’, ‘Sadak 2’, ‘Prasthanam’, ‘Bhuj: The Pride of India’ and ‘KGF: Chapter 2’.
