Found! Himesh's leading lady for Karzzzz

New Delhi: After several actresses reportedly refused to be cast opposite him, the leading lady of the remake of 1980s hit Karz, starring Himesh Reshammiya, has finally been found.

Director Indra Kumar's daughter Shweta will make her debut opposite the actor-singer-composer in Karzzzz.

Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Krishan Kumar, Karzzzz is a remake of Subhash Ghai's 1980s film about reincarnation.

While Shweta is cast in the role played by Tina Munim in the original blockbuster, Reshammiya steps into the shoes of Rishi Kapoor.

T-Series has bought the remake rights from Mukta Arts for the original film.

Directed by Satish Kaushik, the film also stars Urmila Matondkar, Gulshan Grover, Danny Denzongpa , Rohini Hatangadi and Raj Babbar.

After Aap Kaa Surroor, Reshammiya will once again act, sing and compose the music for the film which will be shot in South Africa, Kenya and Mumbai and will go on floors from January 28.

There’s a one reason why all Reshammiya fans can look forward to this one: He will be seen without his trademark cap and will wear his long locks loose.
