Rohit Shetty on why ‘Ram Lakhan’ remake is on backburner

A while back there was much excitement about the remake of 1989’s ‘Ram Lakhan’. After some time, it was evident that makers Rohit Shetty and Karan Johar were struggling to finalise a cast. Shetty has since opened up about the reason the film is on the backburner.

“No, it is not happening. Two stars don’t want to work together, they just want to promote each other’s films. This young lot, they will tweet for each other, but they will not work with each other,” Bollywood Life quotes Shetty revealing.

He added, “The last lot to work together is Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar or Abhishek Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan. But the new lot won’t work with each other, I don’t know why they are insecure of each other? So, now we have just kept it aside. I guess we will have to make it again with Anil Kapoor and Jackie Shroff”.

Some of the names in the running included Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan.
