if classic films are remade with tv stars

Remakes of evergreen Hindi films were, are and will always be a hot proposition. But why only give movie stars the benefit of starring in them? The reach, popularity and acting histrionics of our telly actors is worthy enough for consideration. So we envisioned the new casting of some of our classic Bollywood flicks. So, here it goes…

Arth - Smriti Irani (Shabana Azmi), Kulbhushan Kharbanda (Ronit Roy), Shweta Tiwari (Smita Patel) and Raj Kiran (Cezzane Khan):

Who else can handle the author-backed, multi-layered and complex role of Shabana if not our telly stalwart Smriti ? Ronit as the ambitious director who cheats on his wife and Shweta as the schizophrenic movie star…waah! The perfect arsenal for a raw, hard-hitting, yet moving film

Guide - Juhi Parmar (Waheeda Rehman), Dev Anand (Varun Badola):

Whether breaking the metamorphic pot of social constraints or dancing precariously over a ledge in keeping with her dangerous new desires, Rosie`s character can be very well re-lived by the bindaas Juhi Parmar And Varun is capable of taking you through the smart-alecky guide`s journey of love, shame, guilt and salvation

Maine Pyar Kiya - Diwyanka Tripathi (Bhagyashree), Eijaz Khan (Salman Khan), Apara Mehta (Reema Lagoo):

Diwyanka has all the ingredients to click with the Indian milieu as the seedi-saadhi, homely and soft-spoken Suman. One word that aptly describes Sallu is `hot` and Eijaz too shares the same label, right? The glamy and talented Apara fits well in Reema`s character which in MPK, redefined the look and persona of `ma` in Indian cinema

Devdas - Shahrukh (Rajeev Khandelwal), Aishwarya (Aamna Sharif), Madhuri (Shweta Kwatra):

Television`s hottest and much talked about duo Rajeev-Aamna are as if simply tailor made for this classic tragic love saga. Why Shweta? Cuz she has become a pro at playing the other woman onscreen (Kkusum, Jassi…Kumkum) And yes she can dance too. Proof - Nach Baliye 2!

Chandni -Sangeeta Ghosh ( Sridevi ), Rishi Kapoor (Hussain ), Vinod Khanna (Manav Gohil):

Sangeeta can convincingly play the contrast personas as required in this film; a chulbuli Sri in the first half and a sombre, heart-broken one in the later. Not to forget the slight resemblance - almond eyes and the oomph factor. A fab dancer and a full-of-life lover boy, Rishi`s portrayal can rightly be justified by Hussain. Coming to Manav, the suit-boot wala, reticent businessman look is apt for his frame.(I can already visualize him crooning lagi aaj sawan in these rains.)
