The Hero No. 1, directed by David Dhawan and starring Govinda, was one of the iconic comedies of the 1990s. Now, 25 years after the film’s release, filmmaker Jagan Shakti is releasing his new film, also titled Hero No. 1. Vashu and Jackky Bhagnani will produce the film, which will star Tiger Shroff. According to sources, it will have a large budget and will primarily be installed on floors next year. “Tiger Shroff, Jackky Bhagnani, and Jagan Shakti want to make a one-of-a-kind tentpole action thriller that will usher in a new era of heroism,” according to the press release. “And what better title to celebrate cinema as it should be than Hero No. 1?” The script for Hero No. 1 represents one of Jagan’s most exciting projects, according to a crew member, so he has accepted to direct a movie for Pooja Entertainment. “The team intends to shoot the film in Europe merely using an international action squad,” Variety reports. “Production on the film is expected to start in 2023, but accurate timelines remain to be worked out.”
Pre-production on the film is already underway, and the entire production team is eager to get started on this ambitious project. It’s a film with a mission and a slew of interesting characters, including a villain. Another members of the cast, along with the lead character and the antagonist, will be disclosed in a month.
The Jagan Shakti-directed Hero No. 1 has nothing to do with the David Dhawan comedy of the same name; the team simply uses the title because they believe it is appropriate for the story in today’s context. Tiger Shroff’s father, Jackie Shroff, appeared in the 1980s film Hero.Tiger will now be regarded as the number one hero.
