The suspense is over! Himesh Reshammiya's second release as an actor, after AAP KAA SURROOR, will be produced by T-Series' head honcho Bhushan Kumar. Now here's something vital on the project: It'll be a remake of Subhash Ghai's smash hit KARZ. Incidentally, Himesh had crooned a number from the film, 'Dar-e-dil dard-e-jigar', in AAP KA SURROOR.

Himesh will be playing the part that Rishi Kapoor had enacted in the original. The other characters -- Tina Munim, Simi Grewal, Raj Kiran, Durga Khote and Pran -- are in the process of finalization. To be made on an extravagant scale, the remake of KARZ will have fresh tunes composed by Himesh. In fact, Himesh has decided on a makeover for this film.

Meanwhile, Ghai has decided against remaking films produced by Mukta Arts himself. A text message to this writer says it all: “How can I remake my own scripts, when I am looking ahead at newer ideas? But, I am sure, the remake of KARZ will be welcomed by the present-day generation and I wish luck to Bhushan and Himesh.”

Arre yaar HT, ek-aadh line gaa di hogi Rafi Sahab ke gaane ki. Bas...

This guy is overrated.. he has not done any different music, its all the same and sounds like he is sitting on the bog each time he sings.

And the main thing is you cannot remake a classic such as Karz, it had the 80's class music, the voices of the greatest singers Mohd Rafi and Kishore Kumar and the best music directors ever LAxmikant Pyarelal.
And to top that it had a great cast which included the great Pran.
You cant replace any of those with the modern stars.

sythlord1978, no use arguing. The director will only say he's 'paying a tribute to the old classic' or 'making it suitable for today's audience' or something of that sort. Bah...

Will Indian music ever regain its glory?????

Aap ka suroor even wasnt that great. Karz was a big hit of its time and one of my favs till date. Wish they had used some better actor.
