Shahid john n kangana in saajan remake

Maker of the 1991 musical hit, Saajan, Lawrence D'Souza is planning to remake his film with Shahid Kapur, John Abraham and Kangana Ranaut. The original had starred Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit.

"It is true that I am planning to revive Saajan but let me make it clear that it is not a frame by frame remake or a sequel to it.

Yes it will be a love triangle like the original but with a lot of things will be different, including the setting. Saajan was almost entirely set in the southern hill station, Ooty but this film will have Kashmir as its backdrop. I am planning to shoot the entire film in Kashmir." reveals the director cum cinematographer.

How soon he wishes to start the project and what stars he has in mind for his film?

"The scripting is going on and this time it is Rajiv Kaul and Praful Parikh working on it instead of Reema Rakeshnath who wrote the original. Meanwhile I am planning to sign John Abraham, Shahid Kapur and Kangana Ranaut in the lead roles.

Talks have begun but are yet to be materialized. Kangana I am sure will be the perfect match because story is set in Kashmir and the heroine shown as a Kashmiri girl. Her features are ideal for the part." D'Souza replies.

Saajan's music was a rage when released and broken all records with its audio sales. How does he plan to recreate the magic?

"Music of Saajan was given by my friends Nadeem – Shravan and I want them both to come together to compose music for this film as well. I have already had talks with Nadeem in London and he has shown his willingness for the same.

I am confident that their music will create a bigger impact than Saajan's did." concludes D'souza.
