Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor says Ranveer Singh would be the ideal choice to play the role of Lakhan in the remake of Ram Lakhan.
There were reports that filmmaker Rohit Shetty was remaking the iconic film which starred Jackie Shroff as Ram and the 59-year-old Slumdog Millionaire star as Lakhan.
“I am hearing about this [Ram Lakhan remake] since three and a half years. I think they are still making it. I think right now Ranveer is a good choice for Lakhan,” Kapoor told reporters here.
The actor was speaking at an event for the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards.
“I had thought that I should’ve got an award for Ishwar and Ram Lakhan. Because they used to say that popular films should be awarded, so that was the most popular film. Even for Lamhe I didn’t get many important awards,” said the actor.
“There are many films like these where I didn’t get any award for. There are also those films for which I didn’t think I deserve an award but I got it,” he added.
Bollywood stars Farhan Akhtar and Shahid Kapoor are returning as the hosts of this year’s IIFA awards after hosting the gala in 2014.
The 17th edition of IIFA awards will be held on June 25 in Madrid, Spain. The awards ceremony will witness performances by Bollywood stars such as Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Sonakshi Sinha among others.
