Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra in a still from Sholay
Filmmaker Subhash Kapoor says his next film
Guddu Rangeela is a tribute to the "iconic jodis of Bollywood like Jai-Veeru, Ram-Lakhan and Karan-Arjun".
The forthcoming movie, starring Arshad Warsi and Amit Sadh, is about two miscreants who end up biting more than they can chew and get into a big mess.
The two characters are vibrant and are full of life. They run a village band called the
Guddu Rangeela Orchestra Party and try and make their living by singing quirky songs that entertain the masses.
"
Guddu Rangeela is my tribute to the iconic jodis of bollywood like Jai-Veeru, Ram-Lakhan, Karan-Arjun etc. They are two loveble, funny and quirky underdogs. They are simple and vulnerable but very intense and gutsy when required," Mr Kapoor said in a statement.
Guddu Rangeela will hit theatres on July 3.
