David Dhawan's upcoming rom-com Coolie No.1 is one of the highly awaited films of 2020. Starring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan, the film has generated curiosity amongst fans with its interesting posters that were released a few months ago. But not to forget, the film is a remake of the1995 Coolie No. 1 which featured Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in lead roles. A high point of Varun's Judwaa 2 that released in 2017 was a cameo by Salman Khan in a film that was a remake of his hit from the 1990s. But looks like, the same is not going to happen in Coolie No. 1 remake.
When a leading daily reached out to writer Farhad Samji if there is any possibility of Govinda being roped in for a cameo in the remake of his hit from the 1990s, he told, “I wish it was in the pipeline, but for now, there is no talk of Govinda being a part of Coolie No. 1. I would have loved to see him in the remake; it could have been such a cherry on the cake but there is no word on it yet. From inception, we have maintained that this is our salute to the comedy that Govinda brought to life years ago. Davidji, to this day, despite his equation with Govinda, says that there can’t be another actor like him. For our film starring Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan, we’ve ensured that we revisit it in a way that we retain the charm of the original and add a dash of newness to the story and characters.”
The film is scheduled to release on May 1, 2020. It is directed by David Dhawan and produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh. Apart from Sara and Varun, Coolie No. 1 features Paresh Rawal, Shikha Talsania, Johnny Lever, Jaaved Jaaferi and Rajpal Yadav in important roles.
