Remake of “Agneepath”

Karan Johar is all set to remake the blockbuster, Agneepath. While he had to pay an astronomical amount to buy the rights of the Hollywood blockbuster Stepmom, which he is remaking in Hindi, he does not need to buy the rights to remake Agneepath as it is his home production.

"Surprisingly, Karan has not approached Abhishek Bachchan to play Vijay Dinanath Chauhan, which was played by the actor's father in the original. While Hrithik is still deciding if he wants to star in the remake, Karan is sure that Hrithik is the perfect choice.

But why are we making a remake of the original…why can’t there be originality, or even if it is a remake, why say it, half of the motivation to watch a remake film almost dies, even before the movie is released, There definitely should be a remake, but it is to be treated with a different flavor, like, if so and so scene could have been changed, probably it could have been more interesting

Like for instance, why talk round and round the bush, Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal 3 was a remake, but it had its own humor, originality and freshness, and viewers enjoyed every bit of it…So the Idea is to show what people like to see again and again, with unique style and freshness.

Anyways, the remake version of Agneepath will be directed by Karan Malhotra. It is definitely going to be a great challenge for Karan Johar as well as a Hrithik to do justice to the film that achieved immense popularity and cult following previously.What do you think?

New Concepts and Ideas for Reality Shows in India

Indians are very creative, but I still don’t understand why we are not using this creativity when it comes to Indian Television, We see so many reality shows in different channels, the most famous show is “BIG BOSS 4” with Dolly Bindra blowing the roof with her Full volume talks, Pamela just burnt the floor with Salman and more…, There is KBC with BIG BEE as a host, the most fantastic show of the year, Amitabh Sir Rocks’! He's my favourite... goosebumps:)

However, these concepts of the show are copied from different countries, like AMERICAN IDOL, BIG BROTHER, WWTBA Millionaire’ and more…I won’t have a debate on why concepts are copied or why it not original, but I would love to contribute my thoughts and suggestions (concepts for free ;))-

IDEA/CONCEPT I

SWAP-WRAP : Hehehehe… heard about swapping, evil minds work faster, here the concept is- you swap a day of your life with another person, he may be a celebrity, Politician, Actor, Journalist, Business Tycoon or maybe just a simple human being,
The person has to share his experience what all happened, the challenges, the luxury, , just everything…the one who overcomes all the challenges will be a winner, and that’s when you wrap up! ‘Trust if outlined, this concept will have a super boom on Indian Television, I bet that! Who doesn’t want to live a life of another if it’s a dream come true, and who doesn’t enjoy watching a celebrity who can’t mange to survive even one day- a life of a common man.


IDEA/CONCEPT II

4th SEAT SPECIAL:  Mumbai and trains connect each other, more than half of Mumbaites travel by train to reach their destinations, and you and I know what a task and challenge it is to get into a train specially the ladies compartment :), and to top up that you got to stand or fight for the fourth seat, even if the 3 commuters sitting can adjust they will never accommodate you…yeah! the concept lies here randomly the host of the show will go during peak hours & the three people who will accommodate a 4th seat will get 3 month pass free for commuting, isn’t it interesting, at least this concept will be a reason for people to share the seat and at least the greed to win unite us, what say people :)

There is more in my Idea Box… I wish Indian television comes across these concepts and give it a thought!
