‘ARJUN', one of the considered cult classic in Bollywood, a realistic, raw and gritty film, which showcased the main protagonist Sunny Deol as the crusader for the youth is soon to be remade in a new avatar, featuring Nikhil Dwivedi.

Incidentally the rights of the film are now with Shah Rukh Khan, who acquired them from Cineyug.

Sources close to the developments say that though the concept and ethos of the film will be retained, the issues, treatment will be relevant and reflect the current times. The storyline is simply fantastic, in keeping with the trend of quality cinema that is being lapped up by the discerning audience.

Nikhil Dwivedi too seems quite gung-ho about the remake of ‘Arjun' which will go on floors after he finishes the shooting for Mani Ratnam's ‘RAVAAN', where he portrays the important role of laxman. Mani Sir too seems quite impressed by Nikhil's attitude and sense of commitment, which will prove his altitude in Bollywood.

And with 4 films already under his belt, with outstanding and talented directors, Nikhil is all set for a long innings in Bollywood, and has proved that an ‘Outsider' can still make it in Bollywood, with the right attitude, talent and drive.

"Mamaiyya Kairo Mamma...Duniya bura hai to Goli maro.." Way to go Nikhil!
