Coolie No 1: Varun Dhawan plays THIS superstar's fan in the comic caper - deets inside

Due to the global crisis of coronavirus, the whole world has taken a halt. Even the entertainment world got affected in a major due to the shutdown of theatres and postponement of biggies like Akshay Kumar-Katrina Kaif's Sooryavanshi and Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone's '83. If the situation doesn't get normalizes in the coming days, we will see the delay of Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan starrer Coolie No 1, which is the remake of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor's cult classic of the same name and is scheduled to release on May 1 at the ticket windows.

Talking about the uncertainty of the release date, a source closed to the film, told Mumbai Mirror, "The call will be taken only after the situation gets back to normal. But it is definitely not arriving on May 1 now. Maybe June, July or even later, depending on when the scare subsides. The producers of all the big films will come together to chalk out a release calendar for the second half of 2020." As per the sources, there will be plenty of twists in the rebooted version as Varun Dhawan is playing Mithun Chakraborty's fan in the comic caper. "Varun is a great mimic himself and his favourites are Mithun da, Akshay (Kumar) and Salman (Khan). He has done take-offs on them on public platforms. Of course, doing it on the big screen required multiple workshops and reading sessions," informed the source.

The makers have recreated one of the iconic tracks from Coolie No 1 for the remake, which is Mein Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha. It is composed by Tanishk Bagchi. Talking about the track, director David Dhawan said, "It is an important song for our film, and it has heart. But times have changed so I am going to picturise it very differently with Varun and Sara." Recalling about the original track, David said. "We found a place in Bangalore with lot of Bhel Puri stalls and had the lead pair (Govinda and Karisma) strolling through it, exploring 'Mumbai'. I thought it was the best way to capture the essence of the Maximum City back then." Well, this song will definitely make noise among the college kids.
