Ajay follows Big B, Rajini

May 15, 2012 |

Shah Rukh Khan started the trend, when he starred in the remake of Don. Hrithik Roshan took it a step forward, when he too stepped into Amitabh Bachchan’s oversized boots with Karan Johar’s Agneepath. And now Ajay Devgn is all set to complete the trinity; Devgn, sources say, has been zeroed in for the remake of Hum.
Though the actor himself is yet to confirm the buzz, indications are that the remake will be helmed by Rowdy Rathore director Prabhu Deva. In fact, it’s not just Amitabh that they are drawing inspiration from; it’s also said to be inspired by Rajinikanth’s Baasha. “There has been a strong buzz around Ajay featuring in a film that has its roots in Baasha. Now that would be amusing indeed, as Baasha itself was the official remake of Hum,” says a source.
“Big B could be the biggest reference point even if they remake Baasha. Actually, it would have been much simpler had they made a remake of Hum instead of bringing Rajini in. It’s only fitting Ajay — who’s got an ‘angry young man’ vibe about him, does an Amitabh,” comments a filmmaker.
