Recently there were reports that Hrithik Roshan will be seen in the remake of B R Chopra’s The Burning Train. However, this report turns out to be a hoax.
A daily quoted a source who is close to Hrithik as saying, “All the filmmakers who are close to Duggu (Hrithik) know he doesn’t want to do remakes. He did one remake, Agneepath (of Amitabh Bachchan’s film). That’s it. After that it’s a firm no to all remakes.”
It also informed that he recently turned down the remake of Satte Pe Satta. “And that was to be directed by a close family friend Farah Khan. Duggu went to lunch to Farah’s place when she invited him. Farah made the offer. Duggu was too polite to say an outright no. It took quite a while for Farah to get the message. No remakes!”
“Duggu hasn’t even been approached for The Burning Train. Wasn’t the original a big flop? And wasn’t it a two-hero project featuring Dharmendra and Vinod Khanna? Why would Duggu do a two-hero film? Who does two-hero films these days? Unless it’s Yash Raj’s War where Duggu and Tiger are like two-halves of one whole, can’t be made without both,” it added.
