Saajan sequel to feature young cast, to go on floors in 2014

Director Lawrence D'Souza is all set to
make a sequel of his 1991 hit film Saajan
featuring "younger star cast of known
actors" next year.

The original starred actors Sanjay Dutt,
Madhuri Dixit, besides Salman. Lawrence
did not disclose who will be replacing
these actors in the sequel, title of which
is pparently not yet finalised.

"The scripting is done. The basic idea of
the film is the same - a love triangle -
two heroes and a heroine. We want big
stars for this film. We would go with a
younger lot of known actors. We do have
few names in mind," D'Souza told PTI.

In the original film, Sanjay Dutt played an
orphan who is befriended by wealthy
Salman Khan during his childhood. As
they grow up Dutt emerges as a popular
poet under the pen name 'Sagar', while
Madhuri Dixit played the role of one of his fans. Madhuri's liking for
the poet and
Salman coming in the frame led to a love
triangle.

"I had thought of remaking the film
when people started asking me to
remake old blockbusters," Lawrence said. Lawrence intends to shoot the film in
Kashmir from next year.

Hit songs like Dekha Hai Pehli Baar, Tum
Se Milne Ki Tamanna Hai, Bahut Pyar
Karte Hain, Tu Shayar Hai, Jiye To Jiye
Kaise are among the USPs of the original
film.
