"I don't think there is any chance of comparison. The way the script has been adapted from the 80's style keeping in mind today's audience, it is different. When one adapts a script point of view changes," Ajay told reporters here on the sidelines of a recording session for the chartbuster song 'Taaki O Taaki' by 100 musicians.

Director Sajid Khan is all charged up to remake the Jeetendra-Sridevi starrer 1983 film.

"When you see my version of 'Himmatwala' in 2013 with Ajay you will feel that it is not similar to Jeetuji's film," Sajid said.

"This is my version of 'Himmatwala' and you will get to see many things which were not there in the original. Actually they are two different stories. We have taken the rights officially for the film and for two songs," he said.

 

This is not the first time that Ajay is doing a retro film. Earlier his movie 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbai' was set in the 70s.

Asked whether he thinks he is the man of all seasons and eras, Ajay said, "I don't know what to answer but it's a great feeling. You do something new, you attempt 70's and now you do 80's. We are fascinated with those times because we have been brought up on that cinema so it's going to be a lot of fun." MORE
