Farhad Samji, writer of the movie, confirms Sara's inclusion
The news was confirmed by writer Farhad Samji, who is looking forward to working with Varun and Sara in Coolie No.1. "It's a boon for any writer to work with an actor like Varun. I narrated the dialogue draft to him recently and he immediately asked me for a copy. I'm looking forward to teaming up with Sara for the second time," he added.
It's neither a remake nor sequel of 'Coolie No.1': Farhad
Furthermore, Farhad revealed that the new movie will neither be a remake nor a sequel to the original movie. Instead, it will be an adaptation with a new format. "We have written it keeping the sensibilities of today's audience in mind. It will have plenty of humor and color, larger-than-life songs and will be mounted on a lavish scale," Farhad mentioned.
Varun recently confirmed the remake news to media
Notably, Coolie No.1, directed by David Dhawan, was a 1995 release starring Kader Khan, Govinda and Karisma Kapoor. For months, there were reports about the remake with Varun in the lead. And recently, Varun himself confirmed the news. He said, "As I said it, I was like "should I say it?" But I think it's come (in) out so many places that yeah."
