Tahir
Raj
Bhasin,
whose
last
release
Chhichore
was
a
money-spinner
at
the
box
office,
is
now
gearing
up
to
begin
shooting
for
his
next
film
which
is
a
Hindi
remake
of
the
cult
German
experimental
thriller
Run
Lola
Run.
The
film
has
him
sharing
screen
space
with
Taapsee
Pannu
for
the
first
time.
Speaking
about
pairing
up
with
her
on-screen,
Tahir
said,
"Taapsee
and
I
will
bring
a
unique,
fresh
pairing
on
screen!
Taapsee
is
a
phenomenal
actress
and
someone
I
have
watched
go
from
strength
to
strength
in
each
of
her
films.
She
exudes
this
infectious
positivity
that
I'm
sure
will
make
it
an
amazing
set
to
be
on.
The
pairing
and
the
story
will
give
the
audience
a
sensational
out
of
the
box
ride
that
promises
to
be
crazy
fun."
Run
Lola
Run,
which
released
in
1998,
stars
Franka
Potente
as
Lola
and
Moritz
Bleibtreu
as
Manni.
The
film
revolved
around
a
woman
who
needs
to
obtain
100,000
Deutsch
Marks
in
twenty
minutes
to
save
her
boyfriend's
life.
Tahir
says
Run
Lola
Run
is
one
of
his
most
favourite
films,
and
he
is
thrilled
to
be
a
part
of
its
remake.
The
actor
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Run
Lola
Run
is
a
cult
film
that
blew
my
mind
when
I
first
watched
it.
What
I
loved
about
the
original
was
it's
path
breaking
story
,
the
look
of
the
characters
and
the
amazing
background
score.
I
never
imagined
I'd
be
a
part
of
the
Indian
adaptation
and
I'm
just
so
kicked
by
the
thought.
I
call
it
adaptation
and
not
a
remake
because
it's
been
moulded
to
fit
an
Indian
context
and
today's
time.
Besides
Run
Lola
Run
Hindi
remake,
Tahir
will
also
be
seen
in
Kabir
Khan's
sports
drama
'83,
in
which
he
will
be
playing
the
role
of
legendary
batsman
Sunil
Gavaskar.
The
film
revolves
around
India's
historic
1983
World
Cup
win,
and
stars
Ranveer
Singh
as
Kapil
Dev.
'83
is
slated
for
a
Christmas
2020
release.
