Remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaalia

Amitabh Bachchan’s Kaalia has been in the Wish List of Ready fame Producer Rajat Rawal . Recently rajat bought the Remake rights of Kaalia for 3 Crores .

With Big B film remakes finding success at the box office, it remains to be seen which star will step into his rather big shoes for this film.

Rajat confirms picking up Kaalia’s rights but declines from commenting on casting. “I’m indebted to Salman Bhai because whatever I’m today is after his association with my film, Ready. I have a high regard for Ajay Sir for the brilliant actor he is and Akshay Sir is one of the biggest box-office phenomena,” he conceded, stressing that his priority was to get the script right. For that, he has to first get a director on board.

He explained, “Once I have the director on board, we’ll get a writing team in place to give the story a contemporary feel. Only after the script is ready, will I approach a top star and I hope that whoever I offer the film, agrees to act in it.”

Ask Rawail why he picked Kaalia and he puts it down to great content and brand value. “In today’s times, I see more potential for Kaalia as a brand than it had way back then. While it has hard-hitting lines — like ‘Hum jahaan khade ho jaate hain, line vahin se shuru ho jaati hai – it also has fantastic music for an action film. You remember the songs of Kaalia, like Jahaan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai, Jabse Tumko Dekha, and Tum Saath Ho Jab Apne,” elaborates Rajat, who is also keen to retain a couple of songs from the original film and the background score with Kaalia echoing in it.
