After Shahrukh Khan did a remake of Amitabh Bachchan's Don it will be the turn of Hrithik Roshan enact Big B in the remake of his movie Agneepath. Karan Johar plans to cast Hrithik in the powerful character of Vijay Dinanath Chauhan which till date remember one of his most famous ones. Agneepath which was produced by Karan's father Yash Johar and remains one of the biggest hits of Amitabh's career which earned him his first National Award.

The remake will be directed by by Karan Malhotra whom Karan considers one of his most promising assistants. Karan plans to stick to the original dialogues in the movie as they were its highlighting part. Earlier Farhan Akhtar had earlier cast Shahrukh Khan in the remake of Amitabh's Don. Although the movie had done commercially well critics believed Shahrukh did not fit well into Big B's shoes. It remains to be seen if Hrithik scores one over Shahrukh this time.

And no one will ever be able to do what Amitabh did in Agneepath. That was heavenly, keep dreaming today's stars.

It is true that Sharukh does not find the shoes of Amitabh and vice versa. Sharukh and Amitabh are both great actors in their own right. There are roles that Amitabh can do better than Sharukh; then, there are roles that only Sharukh can do.

Yes we cannot compare Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Because Big B is beyond comparison. But please don't degrade the competition to Shahrukh Khan, at least compare with Aamir Khan. (Even he will be far back). And which role of Shahrukh you are proud of? There is no role this kid can do and Amitabh cannot. Of course, he will not play the part of a college boy now in this age if you want to hint at that.

It's a shame that we are having to remake old movies and movies from other languages in India. Produce some original work folks.

Karan, Please do this film with Abhisek as he is a much better fit. Hritik will fail hugely and I am big fan of Bachchan and really want to see this story succeed. Abhisek is truly a better actor. Please don't make decision based on MONEY as you have enough. Abhisek performed this act on the Indian Idol with exact match and he is strongly capable. Please listen to the plea of yours and Bachchan fan from Chicago.
