Bollywood’s Khiladi, Akshay Kumar, is all set to step into the shoes of Raaj Kumar in the upcoming remake of the 1993 cult classic, Tirangaa. Sources close to the production have confirmed that Kumar has officially signed on for the project, which aims to reintroduce the iconic characters of Brigadier Suryadev Singh (originally portrayed by Raaj Kumar) and Shivajirao Waghle (played by Nana Patekar) to a new generation.
The original film, directed by Mehul Kumar, was a patriotic action drama that resonated strongly with audiences due to its powerful dialogues and thrilling storyline. Akshay Kumar, known for his knack for action-packed roles and his recent string of socially relevant films, seems to be the perfect fit for this high-octane remake.
The remake is expected to retain the core essence of the original while incorporating modern cinematic elements to appeal to today’s audience. Talks are still underway regarding who will step into the shoes of Nana Patekar’s character, a role that requires an actor of intense gravitas. Insiders reveal that the film will be directed by a well-known filmmaker, though the name has not yet been disclosed. Production is expected to begin later this year, with an official announcement and further details anticipated in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned for more exclusive updates on this highly anticipated project.
