Sunny Deol to reprise Dharmendra's role in Hukumat remake

Sunny Deol to reprise Dharmendra's role in Hukumat remake

The original Hukumat starring Dharmenra and Rati Agnihotri was a huge hit and if things go as planned then Sunny Deol will step into the shoes of his father in the remake.

Highlights

  • While this father and son duo have done films together, this will be the first time that Sunny Deol will be reprising a role that was played by Dharmendra many years ago.
  • Anil Sharma, who also helmed the original project, will be directing the remake too. Apparently Sunny Deol has already given his nod for the project.
  • A source said, "Hukumat (1987) starring Dharmendra and Rati Agnihotri was a runaway hit. If things go well then Prakash Raj will play the villain (originally played by Sadavshiv Amrapurkar) in the film."
  • According to reports, Anil Sharma is also planning to re-use one of the famous tracks from the original, Na Zulm that was originally composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
  • When the film released in 1987, it ran successfully for 75 weeks at the box office. Anil Sharma added, "It is too early to talk about it as I am busy with another film. There is no other actor better than Sunny to play the lead. Only he can do justice to Dharamji's character."
