The hit musical comedy of the 60's, Padosan , will go on floors early next year. Contrary to the reports that the film is being stalled, all plans are being finalized for the film which will star Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh and Paresh Rawal in main lead. While it is also believed that makers are considering Katrina Kaif for the female lead, which was played by the sensuous and sweet Saira Bano.
Interestingly, Sanjay Dutt will not be seen in his father Sunil Dutt's role. He will be portraying Kishore Kumar's role in the remake. Ritiesh has been finalized for the role of Bhola which was played by Sunil Dutt with Paresh Rawal doing Mehmood's role.
The shoot was supposed to start this year but got stalled due to Dutt's busy schedule. It is believed that Sanju baba requested director Neeraj Vohra to go ahead with some other actor. But the director was adamant on not replacing Sanjay therefore, now the shoot will commence from early 2009.
Director Neeraj Vora is still working on the script of this remake. It is believed that makers are yet to finalize female lead for Saira Bano's role. Few top names have been discussed and one of them is definitely Katrina Kaif. Now the question is after doing films with stars like Salman, Saif Ali Khan, and Akshay Kumar, will Katrina work with Ritiesh?
Director Neeraj Vora was unavailable for the comment.
