The King of Bollywood is all set to make his comeback with Pathan and the fans can’t wait to see him on the big screen.
Now, as per the latest buzz, SRK has bagged the remake rights of one of Govinda’s most popular movie.
Shahrukh Khan has acquired the remake rights for 1998 comic caper Dulhe Raja starring Govinda and Raveena Tandon.
As per reports, a source revealed, “Very few know that Shah Rukh Khan is indeed a big fan of the comedy genre and Dulhe Raja is one of those pop corn entertainers that he likes. When one of the associates suggested the idea of acquiring the blanket rights of Dulhe Raja, SRK was game on for the idea. The satellite and digital rights also rest with SRK and his company that would now sell it to the partners and reap rich returns from renewal of licence.”
The deal on Dulhe Raja was locked long back. “In-fact, Farhad Samji, who is presently working with Salman Khan on Kabhi Bhai Kabhi Jaan, has been working on a draft of Dulhe Raja. He has been advised to make a fresh screenplay by retaining the world of the original and its work in progress at the moment,” the source informed.
“If the screenplay is faithful adaptation and actors show keen interest, Red Chillies will be more than happy to remake the film. If not, they are content with the revenues that the film will generate from television and digital screenings,” the source concluded.
