Himesh to play Rishi’s role in Karz remake

MUMBAI:

After the success of his debut film Aap Kaa Surroor, composer-singer-actor Himesh Reshammiya is ready to face the camera once again for the remake of the 1977 musical blockbuster Karz.

Reshammiya is going in for makeover for his role in the remake of Subhash Ghai’s film, which is being produced by T-Series. He will be seen dancing, singing and performing to self-composed songs sans his famous cap.

“At the moment I can only say I’m planning my look and performance. And yes this time I want to win over the critics as well,” Reshammiya said.

The evergreen Laxmikant-Pyarelal songs from Ghai’s blockbuster will be replaced by Reshammiya’s tunes.

Giving details on the project, producer Bhushan Kumar of T-Series said, “Yes we’ve purchased the remake rights of Subhash Ghai’s timeless classic Karz with Himesh playing Rishi Kapoor’s part. Himesh has already started working on a new look for the film.”

The rest of the cast and director are yet to be decided.
