Ravi Chopra’s 1980 directorial, The Burning Train, starring the superstars of that era; Dharmendra, Jeetendra, Vinod Khanna, Vinod Mehra, Hema Malini, Parveen Babi and Neetu Singh will now get a remake under the production of Juno Chopra and Jackky Bhagnani.

Originally, this cult film was helmed by Juno’s father Ravi and was produced by his grandfather BR Chopra. Actor turned producer Jackky Bhagnani confirmed the remake of this epic picture to Mumbai Mirror and Jackky was quoted by the tabloid, “I’m sure many of us did. It’s classic Bollywood and I’m thrilled to be working with my friend Juno to recreate the magic that Ravi Chopra sir had 40 years ago. It has its heart at the right place and we are all set to give it our all.” The remake will also be a multi-starrer and is slated to go on floors in the second half of this year. Jackky continued, “We will be finalising the cast soon. The modern adaptation will be set in a train itself and will have a new twist.” The director is yet to be assigned though.
