Bollywood
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan
immortalized
the
character
of
Vijay
Dinanath
Chauhan
in
the
1990"s
movie
Agneepath.
After
two
decades,
filmmaker
Karan
Johar
is
going
to
revive
the
character
with
today"s
superstar
Hrithik
Roshan.
Although,
it
was
a
dream
of
Big
B"s
son
actor
Abhishek
Bachchan
to
play
the
role
but
he
was
not
even
offered.
Hrithik
is
supposed
to
be
Karan"s
first
choice
to
play
this
role,
where
he
will
be
seen
playing
an
international
gangster.
This
role
of
'Dina
Nath" earned
a
national
award
for
Big
B.
The
remake
version
of
Agneepath
will
be
directed
by
Karan
Malhotra.
Earlier,
it
was
thought
that
Abhishek
will
be
playing
the
role
played
by
his
father
and
Jaya
Bachchan
will
be
seen
in
the
role
of
his
mother.
According
to
the
sources,
“Abhishek
Bachchan
was
never
approached
for
the
role
in
the
remake
version.
Debutant
Karan
Malhotra
will
be
writing
and
directing
the
remake
of
the
movie.
The
character
of
Hrithik
will
have
an
influence
of
Al
Pacino
in
Scarface." The
failure
of
Raavan,
Abhishek"s
recent
release,
may
be
one
of
the
causes
of
not
being
chosen
for
the
role.
The
choice
of
Hrithik
is
acceptable
given
his
international
looks,
which
is
perfect
for
the
movie
as
he
will
play
an
international
gangster
with
a
chic
and
happening
look.
In
the
original
Agneepath,
Big
B
played
the
role
as
an
Indian
gang
lord.
The
interesting
character
of
Krishnan
Iyer
M.
A.
will
be
missing
in
the
remake,
which
was
played
by
another
veteran
Bollywood
star
Mithun
Chakraborty.
However,
Hrithik
will
be
experimenting
with
the
hoarse
dialogue-delivery
style
of
Big
B.
It
is
definitely
a
big
challenge
for
Hrithik
to
justify
the
role,
which
was
popularized
by
the
great
actor
years
before.
