Filmmaker
Subhash
Ghai
says
there
are
many
good
actors
today,
like
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Varun
Dhawan,
who
can
take
star
in
the
remake
of
his
1989
film
"Ram
Lakhan".
Rohit
Shetty
was
earlier
supposed
to
helm
the
"Ram
Lakhan" remake,
to
be
produced
by
Karan
Johar.
It
has
been
currently
put
on
hold.
Shetty
had
said
young
stars
were
insecure
to
do
a
two-hero
film
and
most
of
them
wanted
to
play
the
flamboyant
Lakhan
(essayed
by
Anil
Kapoor)
than
portray
the
righteous
Ram
(played
by
Jackie
Shroff).
Asked
about
the
delay
in
the
remake,
Ghai
said
everyone
has
their
reasons
as
each
one
wants
to
put
their
best
foot
forward.
"Anyone
who
wants
to
remake,
has
to
make
it
better
than
the
original.
Karan
Johar,
Rohit
Shetty
are
responsible
people
and
are
counted
as
among
great
directors
of
today.
"They're
taking
their
time.
I'm
happy.
I
know
whenever
they'll
make
the
film,
they'll
make
it
well," Ghai
told
reporters
at
the
re-premiere
of
"Ram
Lakhan"
at
New
Excelsior
Mukta
A2
Cinema
here
last
evening.
He
said
the
plot
of
the
film
is
such
that
even
if
Shetty
remakes
it
with
a
fresh
cast,
it
will
become
a
hit.
"If
Rohit
Shetty
makes
'Ram
Lakhan'
with
newcomers,
even
then
it'll
run.
When
I
had
started
'Ram
Lakhan',
both
these
actors
(Shroff,
Kapoor)
were
coming
from
five
flops
each.
People
had
written
them
off.
But
I
took
them
because
in
this
film,
characters
are
stronger
than
the
stars,"
he
said.
Asked
who
among
the
younger
stars
he
thinks
can
feature
in
the
modern
take
of
"Ram
Lakhan",
Ghai
said,
"There
are
many
brilliant
actors
today.
Ranbir
Kapoor
is
a
great.
VarunDhawan
is
a
great
actor.
There
are
so
many
who
are
good."
The
director
said
today
there
is
a
sense
of
insecurity
among
actors
as
"the
competition
is
more".
"There
are
a
lot
of
factors
around
stars
to
make
them
more
insecure.
Earlier,
they
were
surrounded
by
close
people,
now
they
have
a
marketing
team...
Box
office
numbers
which
are
changing
every
minute.
Every
star
is
living
every
minute," he
said.
