Himesh
Reshammiya's
second
outing
Karzzzz
continues
to
make
news-n-noise,
even
though
director
Satish
Kaushik
and
producers
Bhushan
Kumar
and
Kishen
Kumar
have
yet
to
embark
on
a
major
shooting
schedule
of
the
reincarnation
film
in
South
Africa
and
Kenya.
While
a
lot
has
been
said,
spoken
and
written
about
the
remake
of
Ghai's
KARZ,
here's
something
you
didn't
know.
The
makers
of
Karzzzz
have
decided
to
retain
the
signature
tune
of
the
film,
which
plays
in
the
background
the
moment
the
protagonist
remembers
his
punar
janam.
"It's
a
haunting
tune
and
all
of
us
decided
that
we
should
use
it
in
the
remake
as
well," Satish
Kaushik
tells
me.
While
Himesh
has
already
recorded
fresh
songs
for
the
remake,
there's
one
song
that
they've
decided
to
retain
from
the
original
--
'Ik
Haseena
Thi,
Ik
Deewana
Tha'
--
which
comes
at
the
climax
of
the
film.
While
on
Karzzzz,
Himesh
is
participating
in
acting
workshops
to
get
the
character
right.
After
all,
not
just
the
film
or
its
music,
even
Himesh's
performance
will
be
viewed
with
a
magnifying
glass
and
compared
to
the
power-packed
performance
that
Rishi
Kapoor
pitched
in,
in
the
original.
