'Agneepath' will take you by surprise: Karan Johar

Those who have been expecting a frame-by-frame copy of the 1990 movie Agneepath will be surprised to see a lot of new angles and characters in the film’s remake Agneepath.

“Agneepath is not a remake because it is a tribute,” Karan Johar told reporters in Mumbai at the launch of the new version's trailer.

Though the movie stars Hrithik Roshan as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan and Sanjay Dutt as Kancha Cheena, Johar says there are a lot of new characters in the plot.

“The basic plot of Agneepath is the same, and the character sketch of the protagonist, Vijay (Hrithik) and antagonist Kaancha Cheena (Sanjay) is the same, but we have built new angles to it, and have added new characters to the script as well,” he said.

The movie stars Priyanka Chopra as Hrithik’s love interest though her character is not similar to the one played by Madhavi in the original film. Likewise, Mithun Chakraborty’s character from the original has been chopped out in the remake.

Slated to release on January 13, the new Agneepath also has Rishi Kapoor in a negative role.

Karan Johar said that making Agneepath was an emotional decision for him as the original movie was produced by his father Yash Johar.
