Director N Chandra’s classic with
Madhuri Dixit and
Anil Kapoor will complete 34 years in November this year. ETimes caught up with the filmmaker and posed the question of the remake and if he would support that idea. Reacting,
N Chandra
said, “The classics should not be touched and the reason for that is, those films were made in a certain period and the story was embedded and related to that period.
Tezaab
was about the social era and you cannot remake the era. You cannot replicate the film by putting it into another bottle.”
Chandra also added, “Tezaab is an iconic film and I don’t think it should be remade. Whether it’s me or someone else, aisi filmon ko chhedna nahi chahiye (one should not tamper with such films).”
Tezaab has released in 1988 and it also featured
Chunky Pandey and
Anupam Kher in prominent roles. The iconic song Ek Do Teen, which put Madhuri on the map, was one of the highlights of the film. Reportedly, Tezaab was the most successful film of 1988.
