Akshay Kumar in 'Tirangaa' remake? Producer clarifies
Bollywood producer Narendra Hirawat has refuted recent media reports claiming that he is producing a remake of the 1993 film Tirangaa, starring Akshay Kumar. The reports were first published by Bollywood Hungama, stating that the Nana Patekar-Raaj Kumar starrer was being remade with Kumar in the lead role and produced by NH Studioz. However, Hirawat has now clarified that these reports are "completely baseless and untrue."
They are working on a different project together
Hirawat told Bollywood Hungama, "In the last few days, there have been a few media reports stating that we are producing a remake of the film Tirangaa with Shri Akshay Kumar in the lead." "Yes, we are indeed producing a film with Shri Akshay Kumar but we would like to categorically state that it is NOT a remake of any film. It is a completely new and original script. An official announcement regarding the same will be made soon."
Hirawat's recent release was 'Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha'
Hirawat's most recent release was Neeraj Pandey's love saga Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha, featuring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Shantanu Maheshwari and Saiee M Manjrekar. His studio has also produced movies like Freddy and Tubelight. On the other hand, Kumar was last seen in the biopic Sarfira and his next release Khel Khel Mein is set to hit cinemas on August 15.
