Anil
Kapoor-Madhuri
Dixit's
1988
blockbuster
Tezaab
is
all
set
to
be
remade
soon.
Yes,
you
heard
that
right!
The
news
was
confirmed
by
producer
Murad
Khetani
while
speaking
with
a
leading
tabloid.
Khetani
who
bought
the
remake
rights
of
Tezaab,
revealed
that
the
pre-production
work
of
the
remake
will
begin
soon.
Speaking
about
buying
the
remake
rights
of
Tezaab,
Khetani
told,
"It
is
an
iconic
film
and
we
will
adapt
the
story
to
modern
times,
when
we
make
it.''
On
the
other
hand,
N
Chandra
who
helmed
the
original
film,
in
a
chat
with
the
same
daily
a
few
days
ago,
had
said
that
he
believes
the
Anil
Kapoor-Madhuri
Dixit
film
shouldn't
be
remade.
He
had
said
that
such
iconic
films
shouldn't
be
tampered
by
him
or
anybody
else.
"The
classics
should
not
be
touched
and
the
reason
for
that
is,
those
films
were
made
in
a
certain
period
and
the
story
was
embedded
and
related
to
that
time.
Tezaab
was
about
the
social
era
and
you
cannot
remake
the
era.
You
cannot
replicate
the
film
by
putting
it
into
another
bottle," he
had
told
the
tabloid.
Tezaab
which
released
in
1988,
featured
Anil
Kapoor
as
Munna
and
Madhuri
Dixit
as
Mohini.
The
film
was
a
turning
point
in
Madhuri's
career
as
the
'Ek
Do
Teen'
song
from
the
film
catapulted
her
to
fame.
The
N
Chandra
directorial
revolves
around
a
college
student
who
becomes
a
criminal
due
to
unforeseen
circumstances.
Besides
Anil
Kapoor
and
Madhuri
Dixit,
the
film
also
starred
Chunky
Panday
and
Anupam
Kher
in
key
roles.
Upon
its
release,
Tezaab
ran
in
cinema
halls
for
more
than
50
weeks
and
was
the
highest
grossing
film
for
the
year
1988.
