Farhad Samji has been working on a draught for the new age adaptation of Dulhe Raja while also collaborating with Salman Khan on Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.
Red Chillies Entertainment, the production company run by Shah Rukh Khan, is poised to become known as a studio that regularly curates and produces content, with or without SRK playing the lead role. Darlings, Bob Biswas, Love Hostel, Badla, Class of 83, and many other contemporary productions are examples of their work. The newest rumour in the business is that Shah Rukh Khan has bought the rights to the 1998 comedy caper Dulhe Raja, which was directed by Harmesh Malhotra and starred Govinda and Raveena Tandon.
Few people are aware of Shah Rukh Khan’s love for comedy and that Dulhe Raja is one of his favorite popcorn movies. According to a source familiar with the situation, SRK was enthusiastic about the concept when one of his colleagues recommended buying the exclusive rights to Dulhe Raja. The source went on to say that a team would now decide how to adapt Dulhe Raja for today’s audience. The insider continued, “SRK and his company also own the satellite and digital rights, which they would now sell to the partners and profit handsomely from the renewal of the license.”
The agreement regarding Dulhe Raja was set long ago. Farhad Samji has really been drafting Dulhe Raja while also collaborating with Salman Khan on Kabhi Bhai Kabhi Jaan. The source stated that he has been urged to create a new script while keeping the original world and its current state of development. Depending on the strength of the screenplay, a decision will be made about whether to remake the movie with a leading contemporary actor.
Red Chillies will be more than pleased to remake the movie if the text is a faithful adaptation and the actors are enthusiastic. If not, they are happy with the money the movie will make from showing on television and online, the person said. Speaking of Dulhe Raja, it features a strong cast that includes, among others, Kader Khan, Prem Chopra, Johnny Lever, Asrani, Viju Khote, and Mohnish Behl and is regarded as one of Govinda’s funniest movies. Back then, the movie’s music had gained a lot of popularity.
