 "Bollywood Retro: Deepika-Sonakshi wanted to do this role, but Rakesh Roshan did not sell the remake rights of the film")
Rakesh Roshan Film: There has been a crisis of original stories in Bollywood for a long time. In the DVD era, many producers and directors copied foreign films. But when legal problems arose, then came the era of remakes. These days there is a flurry of remake films. Rakesh Roshan stepped into direction after acting and made some popular films. His most acclaimed films include Khoon Bhari Maang. In this film released in 1988, Rekha, Kabir Bedi and Sonu Walia were in the lead roles. The interesting thing is that this film of Rakesh Roshan was inspired by the 1983 Australian TV mini-series Return to Eden. But in India it was seen as an original story and about a decade ago there were reports that Deepika Padukone wanted to work in its remake.
The film was the story of a rich widow, whom a cunning man marries out of love in order to take over her property. Then, along with his girlfriend, he pushes her to death. But the game of fate is strange and the woman returns. She takes revenge from those who conspired and tried to assassinate her. In the film Rekha, Kabir Bedi and Sonu Walia are seen taking revenge. This film did well and remained in discussion for years. In 2013-14, there were reports that Deepika Padukone would be seen in its remake. She will play the role of Rekha. Then Sonakshi Sinha’s name also came up that she wants to work in the remake of Khoon Bhari Maang. It is noteworthy that Sonakshi’s father Shatrughan Sinha was in a guest role in Khoon Bhari Maang.
Award for the role:
For about two-two and a half years, it was in the headlines that a remake of Khoon Bhari Maang was going to be made in Bollywood. There is competition between Deepika and Sonakshi for the role of Rekha. But finally in 2017, Rakesh Roshan made it clear that he is not going to give up the remake rights of his film to anyone. After this the discussions came to an end. It is noteworthy that Rekha received the Best Actress Filmfare Award in 1988 for her excellent performance in Khoon Bhari Maang, while Sonu Walia received the Best Supporting Actress Award. Kabir Bedi has worked in many Bollywood films, but this is her most memorable Hindi film.
