Actor
Ajay
Devgn,
who
would
be
seen
in
the
remake
version
of
Himmatwala,
got
nostalgic
while
working
on
the
film.
Himmatwala
is
an
upcoming
action
romantic
film
directed
by
Sajid
Khan.
The
film
features
Ajay
Devgn
opposite
Southern
actress
Tamannaah
in
the
lead
roles.
It
is
an
official
remake
of
the
1983
Hindi
blockbuster
of
the
same
name,
which
itself
was
a
remake
of
a
Telugu
film
Ooriki
Monagadu
of
1981.
The
1983
Himmatwala
had
Jeetendra
and
Sridevi
in
the
lead.
The
first-look
of
Sajid
Khan's
remake
version
of
the
yesteryear
film
was
unveiled
today
at
Gaiety
Galaxy
theatre
in
suburban
Bandra.
"It
was
nostalgic
during
this
film.
As
the
film
is
set
in
80s,
it
did
remind
me
of
my
earlier
movies
when
I
had
started
in
the
industry.
Then
I
had
gone
on
the
sets
of
Himmatwala
as
my
father
was
action
director
for
that
movie.
I
had
also
come
to
single
screen
theatre
Gaiety
Galaxy
to
see
the
reaction
of
the
audience
for
my
debut
film
Phool
aur
Kante," Ajay
told
reporters.
The
film
will
have
Ajay
stepping
in
the
role
of
Jeetendra.
"We
have
not
tried
to
copy
anyone.
I
have
worn
white
shirt
and
pants
but
not
white
shoes,"
Ajay
said.
Ajay
and
Tamannaah
shot
the
famous
song
'Taki
O
Taki
Re' in
Jaipur,
while
the
team
shot
'Tathaiya
Tathaiya'
song
in
Mumbai.
"Dancing
is
difficult
for
me
than
acting.
It
stresses
me
out,"
Ajay
said.
However,
director
Sajid
Khan
said,
"Ajay
dances
like
a
superstar."
The
film,
jointly
produced
by
UTV
Motion
Pictures
and
Vashu
Bhagnani,
is
set
to
release
on
March
29
this
year.
