Karan Johar has finalised the cast of his version of Subhash Ghai’s Ram Lakhan which will be directed by Rohit Shetty.
Buzz is, Karan has picked his Student of the Year protg Sidharth Malhotra to take on the role of inspector Ram and hottie Fawad Khan to play the street smart Lakhan.
Now, Sidharth is an obvious choice since Karan has worked with him before and he seems to have a brooding, yet calm quality about him.
Its the dapper Fawad thats come as quite the shocker. It will be interesting to watch how he adapts himself to portray Lakhan.
To play Madhuris role of Lakhans love interest, we hear that Karan has again turned to one of his protgs- Alia Bhatt.
If this cast comes together, it will be quite an interesting watch.
The original cast of this iconic film included Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia and Madhuri Dixit.
The guys who seem to have missed out on being a part of this remake are Ranbir Kapoor as Ram and Ranveer Singh as Lakhan.
Has Karan Johar made the right choices in Sidharth and Fawad? Time will tell.
