Arjun Kapoor's Aurangzeb Remake Of Amitabh Bachchan's Trishul

Arjun Kapoor's

YRF newest, Aurangzeb, headlining Arjun Kapoor, is reportedly an adaptation of the 1978 YRF film Trishul starring Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor.
The difference being, Arjun Kapoor, 27, will play the role of both brothers originally portrayed by Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor.
"It definitely looks like an inspired version of Yashji's Trishul. Jackie Shroff plays Sanjeev Kumar's part of a tycoon but in this case, his wife leaves him, taking one of the twins with her. He grows up, bearing resentment toward his father and the business empire, a la Bachchan. The other twin, also portrayed by Arjun Kapoor, looks after the business along with his father, similar to Shashi Kapoor in Trishul. It seems they've turned the role of the tycoon's two sons into a double role," a source told Mumbai Mirror.
The mother's role was centric to the 1978 film, and in this one too, the hunt is on to cast someone who can pass off as a 30-and 60-year old.
"It would have to be someone as dramatic and volatile as Shabana Azmi but must be able to look 30 as well as 60 since the mother leaves her tycoon-husband with the twin still young in her hand," the source hinted.
The film is set in NCR.
"The film will be shot in and around Delhi. North India has been lucky for Yash Raj. All their recent hits, from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi to Band Baajaa Baaraat to Ishaqzaade have been shot there."
Arjun originally intended to become a producer like his father Boney. But Salman Khan persuaded him to turn actor and personally supervised his grooming. After the success of his debut film with Parineeti Chopra, looks like Sallu's instincts were definitely on the money!
