The
long
list
of
movies
that
are
being
remade
in
Bollywood
has
a
new
name
in
the
form
of
Chupke
Chupke.
The
movie
released
in
1975
and
was
a
huge
success
whilst
being
regarded
as
an
evergreen
cult
comedy.
It
was
directed
by
the
legendary
Hrishikesh
Mukherjee
and
starred
Dharmendra
and
Sharmila
Tagore
in
lead
roles.
The
movie
also
starred
Om
Prakash,
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Jaya
Bachchan
in
pivotal
roles.
Producer
Bhushan
Kumar
of
T-Series
has
acquired
the
official
remake
rights
of
the
film.
Actor
Rajkummar
Rao
will
star
in
the
remake
as
the
lead
protagonist.
The
talented
actor
will
step
into
the
shoes
on
Dharmendra’s
iconic
character
Dr.
Parimal
Tripathi.
Rajkummar
has
stated
that
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
Dharmendra
is
a
big
responsibility
for
him.
The
actor
also
revealed
that
the
project
is
currently
in
the
scripting
stage
but
is
eagerly
looking
forward
to
being
a
part
of
the
film.
The
other
details,
cast
and
the
female
protagonist
for
the
project
haven’t
been
finalized
as
of
now.
According
to
an
earlier
report
published
in
the
Mumbai
Mirror,
the
project
did
face
a
problem
initially
as
the
rights
to
the
title
Chupke
Chupke
was
already
claimed
by
Manish
Goswami
for
his
production
house.
But
the
filmmaker
handed
over
the
rights
of
the
title
when
Bhushan
Kumar’s
company
approached
him
as
he
did
not
have
a
suitable
script
in
hand.
He
went
ahead
and
filed
a
No
Objection
certificate
to
the
Film
and
Television
Producers
Guild
of
India
with
respect
to
the
title.
Rajkummar
Rao
undoubtedly
is
a
talent
powerhouse
who
is
capable
of
carrying
the
film
on
his
shoulders
whilst
delivering
an
able
performance.
The
Stree
actor
was
last
seen
in
the
movie
Made
in
China.
He
will
soon
be
seen
in
Hansal
Mehta’s
Turram
Khan
opposite
Nushrat
Bharucha
and
Anurag
Basu’s
yet-untitled
ensemble
film.
