We are still waiting to get over Sanjay Dutt’s wicked laughter and philosophical dialogue in the new version of Agneepath and news has come in that the 50-plus actor is being considered for another remake: Zanjeer. But his role in this one will be completely different from Kancha Cheena – this one will bring out his good side. For those who don’t know, Shootout At Lokhandwala director Apoorva Lakhia is supposed to helm the modern version of the ’70s super-hit cop and thief tale, Zanjeer, originally starring Amitabh and Jay Bachchan, and Pran. As we said earlier, the filmmaker wants Sanju to play the third most important role in the plot, Sher Khan. In terms of physicality, we think the big and bulky Sanju looks drastically different from the then average-built Pran who played the Pathan’s role in the original. However, looking at how comfortably Sanjay slipped into the shoes of the villain, it will be easy for him to make his way into people’s hearts as the affable foe-turned-friend too. Remember how Pathan Sher Khan’s friendship and devotion in Zanjeer started a trend of movie plots with two best friends back in the ’70s? The popular song in the film, Yaari hai imaan mera yaar meri zindagibecame an anthem for buddies during those days.
