Himesh Reshammiya’s musical reincarnation thriller Karzzz directed by Satish Kaushik and produced by music baron Bhushan Kumar is getting bigger with each day. After roping in Urmila Matondkar to play the mysterious and elegant Simi Garewal’s role, they have roped in another big star. And after much deliberation and anticipation, the role played by veteran actor Premnath in the original film finally went to Gulshan Grover. The role was in the centre of much speculation for months on end with Feroz Khan’s name thrown in, but finally it was Badman ‘GG’ who clinched the role. Gulshan who is shooting in London confirms the news. “I’m not aware of other actors who were initially offered the role, but I’m playing the role of the speech impaired Sir Juda in the Karz remake, the same role initially played by Premnath.

Though I have played hundreds of characters, it will be challenging to play a role originally done by the legendary Premnath. But at the same time, it’s a great honour,” says Gulshan. While Satish is ecstatic for getting the chance to work with his friend. “We have known each other since our college days and almost started our career together in Bollywood. I wanted to work with him in my directorial venture Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja, but somehow missed out, and then same thing happened with my second film Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rahte Hai. But, I’m glad that finally we are working together in Karzzz,” say Satish. But wasn’t Feroz Khan finalized for the role? “I have not met Feroz for the film, maybe my producers might have spoken to him.

I was told Feroz saab is doing lesser number of films, so I suggested Gulshan’s name for the simple reason that he has the knack of getting into the skin of his characters. Gulshan’s dedication and commitment towards his work is commendable,” Satish says “Now with the coming in of Gulshan Grover the entire star cast of the film has finally fallen into the right place. We are all set to roll.”
