According to a report based on a leading entertainment portal, Rohit Shetty has been trying to make the remake of ‘Angoor’ for a long time and has also considered Shah Rukh Khan to step into the shoes of Sanjeev Kumar’s character back in 2015 but somehow things did not materialise and they collaborated on ‘Dilwale’. A trade source told Bollywood Hungama, “Rohit Shetty has been trying to make Angoor remake for a while now and it is finally happening now with Ranveer Singh stepping into Sanjeev Kumar’s shoes. Rohit had planned to revisit Angoor in 2015 with Shah Rukh Khan in lead, however, things didn’t materialize and the two collaborated on Dilwale. After that, he got busy with Golmaal Again, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. He has now got the much-needed break in the Covid pandemic, and he utilised the time to fine-tune and rework on the script of Angoor adaptation.”

The source added, “Bol Bachchan was essentially inspired by Golmaal, rather a commercial take on Golmaal. In the same way, even Angoor is more of an adaptation in the present time, and Rohit is just retaining the basic premise of how two identical twins lead to confusion. It is currently being scripted and the final draft is expected to be locked soon, following which they will move on to the other aspects of pre-production, including signing other actors of the ensemble.”

The source went on to reveal that the ‘Bajirao Mastani’ actor will be playing a double role in the remake of ‘Angoor’.
