Coolie No. 1: Sara Ali Khan Opens Up On The Comparisons With Karisma Kapoor
Bollywood's most awaited movie 'Coolie No. 1' is released on Amazon Prime a few minutes ago on the occasion of 'Christmas' festival. Being a complete comic entertainer and love drama, this flick is the remake of Govinda and Karisma Kapoor's 'Coolie No. 1' (1995) movie with the same title. Ahead of the movie release, Sara Ali Khan spoke to media about her character and the comparison of her role with Karisma Kapoor.
Sara doled out, "I think one is not trying to copy Karisma maam or fill in her shoes because she is an institution in herself. While she is extremely inspiring, I would not dare to try to ape her because I would not be able to do so, even if I tried very hard. The only attempt is to , kind of, try and bring to this film, something of my own. For me, it was not as much about following her footsteps, as it was about performing under David sir's guidance, chemistry with Varun and things like that."
"As far as passive or active character, or screentime is concerned. For me, as an actor, it is exciting to be part of exciting films. I want to be able to do different genres of films. I want to tell interesting stories. In the end, I want to do films that make you laugh. I don't care whether you laugh at my jokes, or Varun's or Paresh's. You are laughing, watching my film. That is what matters for me."
This movie is the third collaboration of Varun Dhawan with his dad David Dhawan and has Sara Ali Khan as the lead actress. It has Paresh Rawal, Javed Jaffrey, Rajpal Yadav and Johnny Lever in the prominent roles. This David Dhawan directorial is bankrolled by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani and Deepshikha Deshmukh under Pooja Entertainment banner.
