Govinda And Raveena Tandon's 'Dulhe Raja' To Be Remade With Modern Sensibilities?

Mumbai, September 5 - Govinda and Raveena Tandon's Dulhe Raja (1998) holds a special place in the comedy genre in Bollywood cinema history. Produced and directed by Harmesh Malhotra, "Dulhe Raja" was one of the highest-grossing films of the year and it followed with a tremendous response on television over the years.

"Dulhe Raja" will complete 25 years in 2023 and if all goes well, the movie could get its modern-day version. According to Pinkvilla, Shah Rukh Khan's production house, Red Chillies Entertainment has acquired the negative and remake rights of the movie and is working on the idea of how to adapt it to modern sensibilities.



"Very few know that Shah Rukh Khan is indeed a big fan of the comedy genre and Dulhe Raja is one of those popcorn entertainers that he likes. When one of the associates suggested the idea of acquiring the blanket rights of Dulhe Raja, SRK was game on for the idea", reports Pinkvilla.

The report also states that the remake rights were acquired a long time back and Farhad Samji, who is currently working with Salman Khan on "Kabhi Bhai Kabhi Jaan", has been attached to make a fresh screenplay of the movie by retaining the world of the original and its work in progress at the moment.

The original movie, apart from Govinda and Raveena Tandon, also starred Kader Khan, Prem Chopra, Johnny Lever, Asrani, Viju Khote, and Mohnish Behl among others in key roles.
