Which actor wouldn’t like to play the angry and brooding Vijay from the 1975 classic Deewar.
The role of the vitriolic Vijay is one of the best in Amitabh Bachchan ’s acting career. The fans of the movie still remember by heart some of the popular dialogues from the film.
Now that there is a trend of remakes in Bollywood, it is rumoured that the reigning superstar Shah Rukh Khan wants to play Vijay in the movie’s modern-day remake.
Shah Rukh is already enacting the double role played by Bachchan in Don (1978) in the movie’s remake Don by Farhan Akhtar .
It is learnt that SRK has expressed his willingness to produce the Deewar remake to filmmaker Manmohan Shetty who is said to be in talks with Rajiv Rai. It is Rai who owns the rights of the original movie, directed by Yash Chopra .
Although Rai is reluctant to part with the movie’s rights, he does admit being approached by Manmohan Shetty and Shabbir Boxwala for the movie’s remake.
Rai also admits that if the movie is remade, SRK will indeed play Vijay in it.
