Coolie No 1: Sara Ali Khan On Imitating Karisma Kapoor In The Film; Says 'Would Not Be Able To Do So, Even If I Tried Very Hard'
Sara Ali Khan reacts to trolls claims of her trying to copy the OG Coolie No.1 star Karisma Kapoor in her upcoming film alongside Varun Dhawan!
Sara Ali Khan is all set to once again enthrall fans with her upcoming film, Coolie No.1. Also starring Varun Dhawan, this David Dhawan directorial is an adaptation of his 1995 film Coolie No.1 that featured Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles. Now, unsurprisingly, the internet is full of comparisons between these two films and some have even gone on to say that Sara Ali Khan is trying to imitate Karisma. Putting all these speculations to rest, the Kedarnath actress, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, said how she would never dare to do so.
Sara also called Karisma Kapoor an institution in herself. Upon being asked if her character is inspired from that of Karisma’s, Sara said, “I think one is not trying to copy Karisma maam or fill in her shoes because she is an institution in herself. While she is extremely inspiring, I would not dare to try to ape her because I would not be able to do so, even if I tried very hard. The only attempt is to, kind of, try and bring to this film, something of my own. For me, it was not as much about following her footsteps, as it was about performing under David sir’s guidance, chemistry with Varun and things like that.”
The actress added, “As far as passive or active character, or screentime is concerned. For me, as an actor, it is exciting to be part of exciting films. I want to be able to do different genres of films. I want to tell interesting stories. In the end, I want to do films that make you laugh. I don’t care whether you laugh at my jokes, or Varun’s or Paresh’s. You are laughing, watching my film. That is what matters for me.”
Coolie No.1 is all set to release on the OTT platform of Amazon Prime on 25th December that is, tomorrow. Stay glued with us for the review.
