Mumbai, Aug 25: Nikhil Advani is all set to remake Amitabh Bachchan's yesteryear film titled Trihul that had cast Sanjeev Kumar alongside him, into his own version and he has titled it 'Bazaar.' He however did not wish for his movie to be called as a remake of Amitabh's Trishul even though the story line seems to be quite similar.
His latest venture Katti Batti starring Kangana Ranaut and Imran Khan which is slated for release on the 18th of September. In an interview, which was part of the promotions for Hero, Nikhil told the media, "'Bazaar' is a story of this city (Mumbai). It's a film which likens to a 'Trishul'. But the backdrop is business and share bazaar (market)."
He also added that, "It's about the city because intoxication of the city drives me crazy. I can't understand why people come into the city and live on sewage, really we're living on sewage. There is no infrastructure. Yet people stay back and stay for long which sparks an instant fire in you. So, 'Bazaar' is a story of two men, one who's made it and one who's trying to make it, how they come together and what they do."
Categorically denying that his movie has anything to do Trishul, he said, "It's not a replica at all. When I use the word 'Trishul', I just love the drama of Salim-Javed which is missing from the cinema of today. We've become subtle about it and very real about it. I am fascinated by the drama of Sanjeev Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan in the film. I just love the space of two men going against each other."
Nikhil is yet to begin with the casting for the film, but he did say that he already has a few people in his mind for the various characters he wishes to portray in the movie.
