Bollywood director and action lover Rohit Shetty is planning for a remake of the classic comedy of 1982. Angoor that originally starred Sanjeev Kumar, Moshumi Chatterjee, Deven Verma and Deepti Naval was a much-loved comic story then.

Directed by Gulzar, the film had the concept of two pairs of identical twins who unfortunately got separated but, years later their lives intertwine and this leads to lot of confusion and comedy.

Earlier it was rumored that Shah Rukh Khan will be roped in for the role. However, it seems that the Chennai Express director has changed his mind and he might cast Ranveer Singh instead.

As per the reports of Koimoi, one of the sources revealed, “Rohit Shetty has been trying to make Angoor remake for a while now and it is finally happening now with Ranveer Singh stepping into Sanjeev Kumar’s shoes.”

He further added, “Rohit Shetty had planned to revisit Angoor in 2015 with Shah Rukh Khan in lead, however, things didn’t materialize and the two collaborated on Dilwale. After that, he got busy with Golmaal Again, Simmba and Sooryavanshi. He has now got the much-needed break in the Covid pandemic, and he utilised the time to fine-tune and rework on the script of Angoor adaptation.”
