‘Himmatwala’ was the remake of 1983 hit Bollywood film of the same
name and starred Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah Bhatia in the lead roles. It
hit theatres last year.
Sajid, who was in the city to promote his upcoming film ‘Hamshakals’, walked to the press area and asked the media to stand up and keep silent for two minutes, saying, “There is an untimely demise of someone”.
When the two minutes were over, the director quipped, “That was for my last film ‘Himmatwala!”
“It was never my kind of film. It was my favourite film in my childhood but recreating the 80s era was not my cup of tea and even the action. Since Ajay (Devgn) and Vashu (Bhagnani) were excited about it, so I made it. But after its failure I learnt that I should not do anything else other than comedies,” Sajid said.
The 42-year-old filmmaker said he wrote the script of ‘Humshakals’ to cope with the debacle of ‘Himmatwala’.
