Sidharth Malhotra To Play Rajesh Khanna’s Character In Ittefaq Remake
Updated : December 05, 2016 01:40 PM IST The streets of Bollywood are abuzz with latest report that Sidharth Malhotra is gearing up to step into Rajesh Khanna’s shoes for the remake of 1969 hit film Ittefaq. The plot of the murder mystery revolves around the life of a painter who was accused for killing his own wife. To be produced by Gauri Khan, the film will see Sonakshi Sinha playing the leading lady. The role was originally played by late actress Nanda.
When media asked the Baar Baar Dekho star about his role in the movie, he stated, “Ittefaq is a different and a very special movie for me. The character I portray is unlike any of the characters I have played so far and I am really excited to retrieve the genre of murder mystery with the classic cult movie”.
According to reports, the remake of Ittefaq is going to be very different from the original movie and the makers are only adapting the basic premise. Confirming the same, Sonakshi was earlier quoted as saying, “The film’s story has been changed and modified. It’s about three characters and each one has a back story and a reason to be the murderer. It needs to be seen who actually does it”. The movie is slated to get to the floors in February next year.
