Tridev remake with Salman is not happening, reveals director Rajiv Rai
Gupt director Rajiv Rai has revealed that Tridev – the 1989 blockbuster featuring Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff , Naseeruddin Shah – is not being remade.
According to a recent report an entertainment portal, “A well-placed entertainment news source within the industry has exclusively apprised BollywoodLife that Salman Khan is in talks to star in the remake of Tridev. Apparently, original director Rajiv Rai approached Salman with the idea and he loved it. As the Tridev remake is expected to have a completely contemporary touch, a new director is being sought along with the rest of the cast. An announcement about Salman doing the film and other details is expected in the near future.”
Rajiv Rai revealed that the said source of the portal did not give the right information. “I’m not inclined towards doing remakes whether mine or outside films. That’s not my scene. So I am reluctant to even consider remakes. I’ve had offers, though.”
Rajiv admitted that Salman Khan had approached him — but NOT for Tridev. “Two years ago Salman had discussed this with me. It was never never about him acting in Tridev. When Salman suggested that he and I co-produce Tridev – this was during pre-pandemic days, I didn’t want to disregard the proposal simply because he’s a very close and an old friend of mine. When the pandemic happened, the project took a backseat and I continued with what I was doing. “
Rajiv has no plans whatsoever of remaking Tridev. “I don’t think Tridev will happen, and I have many stories lined up. Tridev was merely at a discussion stage. And it was about me and Salman co-producing. Right now I’m shooting my own small budget film with newcomers in Jaipur.”
