In the original, Pran played the role of a Pathan and he had a typical look with long hair and kohl. "I don't know what my look would be in its new version. I really don't know. I want to do something special for Pran saheb as I loved the role when I first saw it when I was a kid," Arjun told PTI.

The remake version of Zanjeer is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and stars Priyanka Chopra, Ram Charan Teja, Arjun Rampal, Prakash Raj and Mahi Gill. "The script of this film is really nice. Apoorva is a good friend and he has got his angle for it (film). I am looking forward to it," Arjun said.
