BUZZ: Shah Rukh Khan To Shake A Leg In A Special Song-N-Dance Number In The Ittefaq Remake
That's the latest whisper in B-town, and we bring it to you first. The remake of the 1969 thriller Ittefaq, an eagerly awaited film, just became more thrilling. You will put on your dancing shoes in it to a song from Shah Rukh Khan
We know for a fact that Shah Rukh Khan dearly wanted to star in his production, the remake of the 1969 unforgettable Ittefaq. Obviously, he would have done Rajesh Khanna's role. Alas! 'Date issues' kept him away.
But now, he is planning to do something for the film that is going to grab a lot of eyeballs.

If all goes well, Shah Rukh will shake a leg to a special song-n-dance number. This song, we hear, will be only used as a promotional tool.
For those who've come in late, Akshaye Khanna was asked to step into Khanna's shoes but the oh-so-choosy star turned it down after long deliberation. Now, Sidharth Malhotra plays the lead.
Red Chillies, Dharma Productions and BR Films are jointly producing the remake of the 1969 Yash Chopra-directed murder mystery.

Going back to Shah Rukh's desire to star in Ittefaq, talking to the media on the occasion of 4th National Yash Chopra Memorial Award which was given to him, Shah Rukh had said: “I wanted to do the film. I really wanted to do it when I heard the script. But I was doing other films. So, I couldn’t. But the team, which is doing right now, is great."
“I am glad I am remaking Ittefaq. I also like Yashji’s Waqt. It is beautiful. From my own films with him, I think it would be Jab Tak Hai Jaan because that was his last movie,” he had added.
The remake of Ittefaq is being directed by BR Chopra’s grandson Abhay. The film went on floors in mid-February.
