After remaking ‘Ratsasan’ as ‘Cuttputlli’ in Hindi, Bollywood Khiladi Akshay Kumar is back with another remake and this time is the Hindi version of the Malayalam super hit movie ‘Driving Licence’. This interesting film which came in 2019 featuring Prithviraj Sukumaran and Suraj Venjarammoodu impressed many and there were talks about remaking this film in Telugu too.
It is now remade in Hindi as ‘Selfiee’ and Akshay Kumar will be seen as a superstar who has a huge fanbase. Emraan Hashmi plays the role of a police officer who is his biggest fan. The trailer which came out recently showcases what happens when the biggest fan gets hurt by the hero he admires and worships. As we all know, the movie revolves around the superstar not having a driving licence and how the situation ends up being a huge mess.
Akshay Kumar is in his element doing the hero role while Emraan Hashmi impresses the most as transport sub inspector Om Prakash. His touching performance as a fan and a loving father makes the trailer very intriguing. Nushrat Bharuccha is seen as his wife in the movie while Diana Penty and Mrunal Thakur made their presence felt in the trailer. It is Akshay and Emraan who dominate the entire trailer and the movie looks like a more stylised and vibrant version of the original. Also, the movie’s storyline slightly reminds us of SRK’s 2016 film ‘Fan’ where King Khan played the star and the fan by himself.
Directed by Raj Mehta, ‘Selfiee’ is getting released on 24th February. It is bankrolled by Dharma Productions, Prithviraj Productions, Magic Frames and Cape Of Good Films banners. Rishhabh Sharma has given the screenplay and dialogues while Azeem Dayani supervised the music. Let us see how the movie turns out.
