In 1985, Sunny Deol wonderfully portrayed the nature of an angsty young man in his action film, Arjun. Twenty-seven years later, actor Nikhil Dwivedi, will play a task paying homage to Sunny’s character within the cult hit. Nikhil, however, insists that his forthcoming movie isn't a remake,
but a loosely based adaptation of the unique Arjun. “Let me clarify, my film isn't a remake of Arjun. That film is brilliant and we haven't any illusion that we will be able to do a greater job making it.
Sunny was exceptional in that film and if we were remaking it, I MIGHT have had a difficult time thinking ‘How do I do better than that?” says the actor whose character within the film may be called Arjun Malvankar, like within the original.
Ask Nikhil if he has met Sunny yet and he smiles saying, “Not yet. But I'M a large fan! He have been within the industry for 30 long years, which speaks volumes about his talent and success. After we catch up with to the film’s shooting, I'D definitely like to meet him.”
Although the Shor Within the City (2011) actor claims that his film is an adaptation, he admits there'll be numerous references to the unique Arjun. “That is because issues corresponding to unemployment, disgruntled youth and the sensation of dissatisfaction with the system, survive within the society,” he says, adding, “I am also acutely aware of the truth that people will attempt to draw certain comparisons, but I don’t think I WILL BE ABLE TO avoid that.”
Nikhil may be seen next in Tamanchey, an intense love story of 2 outlaws. The film will see him play a petty criminal from eastern UP, while Richa Chaddha, who will soon be seen in Gangs of Wasseypur, will play the a part of a slick, city girl. “People could be surprised incidentally I GLANCE and talk within the film. I'VE worked really hard on dialect and other nuances,” says the actor.
