‘Coolie No. 1’ has made it to the cult films of the 90’s that one could watch again and again. The film has been revamped with a modern-day twist and director David Dhawan shared his thoughts and experience behind it. He says, “It’s my film that I made 25 years ago and the thought of a re-make never occurred to me. What happened was that I wanted to do something with Varun, and was thinking about it. When I asked Varun, if he liked this film, he saw it and didn’t answer. He was later getting a little convinced, as it was a difficult film for him since we had one of the best actors who played this role, and there’s no comparison. At the same time, Vashu ji said let’s do this film, it’s a damn good film. That was the first film that Vashu and I had done. So that’s how the idea came.” The director adds, “When I started to work on the film/ script, I had to redo everything. If that had not been alright I would not have said yes.”
