The remake "Karzzzz", is produced by Bhushan Kumar & Krishan Kumar and Directed by Satish Kaushik. The film stars the mega star Himesh Reshammiya, Urmila Matondkar, Gulshan Grover, Danny Denzongpa and Rohini Hatangadi.
Himesh Reshammiya plays the role of Rishi Kapoor in the remake and also scores a hat trick by acting, singing and composing the music for the film!!!
The shooting is scheduled to commence from Mid-January and the film will be shot in South Africa, Kenya & Mumbai.
T-Series has bought the remake rights from Mukta Arts for the original film 'Karz' directed by Subhash Ghai. The original film had a cast of Rishi Kapoor, Tina Munim, Premnath amongst others and was a blockbuster of the 80's.
T-Series whose association with Himesh Reshammiya goes a long way back, has now decided to forge stronger ties by producing 3 films that will feature Himesh in the lead, after the overwhelming success of his Debut in 'Aap Kaa Surroor-The Moviee, The Real Love Story'!
Himesh, who believes in doing everything in a larger-than-life manner, has already whet the audiences appetite regarding his next offering 'Karzzzz'.
Being a strong believer in astrology and numerology, Himesh Reshammiya and Bhushan Kumar, the head honcho of T-Series, have decided to get it numerologically right with just the added 'zzzz'ing!
Himesh's second film to be produced by T-Series is 'Kajraare' which will be directed by Pooja Bhatt and the third production is 'A Love Issshtory' by John Matthew Matthan of 'Sarfarosh' fame. Bhushan Kumar has given his full backing to the projects and is eager to get the show on the road!
Since Himesh considers 29th to be his lucky number, he saw to it that the mahurat of all his 3 films was held on 29 th November '07 in a span of 45 min, which once again is numerologically auspicious for him!
Well, looks like 2008 will be yet another exciting year to watch out for T-Series and Himesh!
