Bollywood actors Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan are all set to unite for the very first time and star in the remake of the 1995 film Coolie No 1, which featured Govinda and Karisma Kapoor back in 1995. Previosuly reports suggested that the lead pair of Sara and Varun is all set to groove on Govinda's and Karisma's Bhel Puri song. And now, filmmaker David Dhawan has confirmed this news to a leading daily. Popular song from Coolie No 1, Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha, will be recreated in this remake.
The new version will be composed by Tanishk Bagchi and David promised that he is not going to mess with the original. “It is an important song for our film, and it has heart. But times have changed so I am going to picturise it very differently with Varun and Sara,” David said, adding that songs recall value plays a huge role in a film’s success.
The original from the 1995 film was shot in Bangalore and reminiscing about it David pointed out that Bhel Puri is one of the signature street foods of Mumbai. “We found a place in Bangalore with lot of Bhel Puri stalls and had the lead pair (Govinda and Karisma) strolling through it, exploring ‘Mumbai’. I thought it was the best way to capture the essence of the Maximum City back then,” he further added.
“It’s a fun song, showing the growing bond between the couple,” he signed off.
