The trend of remaking classic movies seems to be continuing with the news of Tezaab, a popular 90s film, being remade. Reports suggest that the 1988 movie will see a remake with Janhvi Kapoor and Ranveer Singh playing the lead roles. However, it was originally planned to cast Kartik Aaryan and Shraddha Kapoor for the project. Kabir Singh producer Murad Khetani acquired the rights for the remake in 2021 and was keen on casting Kartik Aaryan for the film.
According to sources, Kartik Aaryan was considered to be the right choice for the remake of Tezaab, given his good box office track record and his previous work with the film’s makers in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. Kartik had also expressed his interest in being part of the project after hearing about the casting. It seemed like a promising choice for the filmmakers to make.
However, it now seems that the casting has changed once again, with Kartik Aaryan not being part of the Tezaab remake after all. A tweet from the Twitter account ‘Box Office Worldwide’ suggested that Kartik had been roped in to play a lead role in the movie, but this was later denied by the actor himself. Kartik took to Twitter to quote tweet the news and confirm that it was not true.
It is unclear why the decision was made to not cast Kartik Aaryan in the movie, or who will be replacing him in the lead role. Nonetheless, the news of the Tezaab remake continues to generate interest and speculation amongst fans of the original movie, and Bollywood movie enthusiasts in general. We will have to wait and see who the final cast for the movie turns out to be, and whether or not it can live up to the success of the original.
