Hrithik V/S Big B as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan

In a week to follow, the Bollywood box- office is well slated for another outstanding release, the remade version of Mukul Anand’s action packed bonanza- ‘Agneepath’. While Hrithik will be stepping into the shoes of Big B as Vijay Dinath Chauhan; the villainous cast of Danny Denzongpa will be essayed by Sanjay Dutt. Giving way to obvious prospects of possible parallelisms and those of differences, it will be interesting to note the elements of closeness.

To go by the creative unit as well as the actor, despite having a base of commonality, Hrithik as Vijay Dinanath Chauhan is supposed to be a far cry from Big B’s portrayal of the same entity. According to the lead actor, the similarity begins and ends with the name ‘Vijay’.

While Big B’s character had striking similarity to one of Mumbai’s notorious   underworld campaigners, the one being essayed by has the touch of mundane mediocrity. Rather than being out of the ordinary, Vijay of the present date is strikingly normal.  As one of the ordinary folks accustomed to life’s hardships, he has been invested with a pretty plain look. To go by Mandira Shukla- the flick’s costume designer, she wasn’t even allowed to watch the original version of Big B’s Agneepath.
