The recent productions of the Red Chillies entertainment include Darlings, Bob Biswas, Love Hostel, Badla, Class of 83, etc. It’s now rumored that Shah Rukh Khan has acquired the negative and remake rights to Harmesh Malhotra’s Dulhe Raja, led by Govinda and Raveena Tandon.
Sources revealed that “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 acquiring the blanket rights of Dulhe Raja, SRK was game on for the idea,”. The team is supposedly deciding ways to recreate Dulhe Raja for today’s audience. “The satellite and digital rights also rest with SRK and his company that would now sell it to the partners and reap rich returns from renewal of license,” the source added.
SRK’s deal with Dulhe Raja was finalized long back. “In fact, Farhad Samji, who is presently working with Salman Khan on Kabhi Bhai Kabhi Jaan, has been working on a draft of Dulhe Raja. He has been advised to make a fresh screenplay by retaining the world of the original and its work in progress at the moment,”
The team would decide to cast Bollywood’s top actor based on the screenplay’s merits.
“If the screenplay is a faithful adaptation and actors show keen interest, Red Chillies will be more than happy to remake the film. If not, they are content with the revenues that the film will generate from television and digital screenings,” the source shared.
The film Dulhe Raja was considered to be one of the funniest films starring Govinda. It had an excellent set of talented cast members like Kader Khan, Prem Chopra, Johnny Lever, Asrani, Viju Khote, and Mohnish Behl. Even the music of the film was extremely popular back in those days.
Will Red Chillies be able to recreate the impact on the modern audience?
