Actor-filmmaker Ajay Devgn expressed his desire for someone to remake 'Phool Aur Kaante', his Bollywood debut film in 1991. He also said that he'd be able to pull off the split stunt on two bikes, with a month's practice.
He shared a short video clip from one of his interviews and tweeted, “Phool Aur Kaante Returns has a good ring to it. What do y’all think?” However, not everyone believes it would be a good idea. One user responded to Ajay's tweet with, “Nope, not every film is Drishyam.” A few of his fans also suggested that a sequel would be better than a remake.
The video starts with Ajay Devgn being asked about a "remake-able film from his filmography and he promptly responds with, “I would like somebody to remake Phool Aur Kaante.”
The interviewer then said, “Yeah? Tough, must be difficult to do that. The cameras used to be very different back then.” He was then asked if he would be able to ace the iconic split on bike. "I would need a little practice, mahina dedh mahina (a month or so), I think so. Koshish karni padegi (Will have to try and see),” he says.
Directed by Kuku Kohli, Phool Aur Kanate featured Ajay alongside Madhoo, Aruna Irani, Jagdeep and Amrish Puri. Both Madhoo and Ajay made their entry in Bollywood with the film that was a commercial success.
The actor will be next seen in the sports biographical film Maidaan. Directed by Amit Sharma, the film is based on the golden era of Indian football and features Ajay as football coach Syed Abdul Rahim. It also stars Priyamani, Rudranil Ghosh, Abhinay Raj Singh and Gajraj Rao. Slated for a February 2023 release, the film has music composed by AR Rahman.
Ajay also has his next directorial venture in the pipeline 'Bholaa;.
