Summary
- Producer Deepak Mukut confirms he holds rights to 'Do Aur Do Paanch'.
- Mukut planned a remake with Bobby Deol and Abhishek Bachchan.
- Original 1980 film starring Amitabh Bachchan was a box-office disappointment.
Producer Deepak Mukut has firmly established his ownership of the remake rights for the 1980 film 'Do Aur Do Paanch'. Mukut clarified that while rumors circulated about Rohit Shetty working on a new iteration, he is the one with the rights and intends to proceed with the project soon. For nearly a decade, Mukut had envisioned a remake starring Bobby Deol and Abhishek Bachchan. The original 'Do Aur Do Paanch', directed by Rakesh Kumar, featured Amitabh Bachchan and Shashi Kapoor in a caper involving fake teachers and a kidnapping plot. Despite its star power, the film was a rare box-office disappointment for Amitabh Bachchan, partly due to its release proximity to the successful 'Suhaag'. Mukut's statement aims to correct any misconceptions and assert his control over the classic film's revival.
