The 90s cult favourite film, Coolie No 1, is getting a remake. Apart from the Hindi remake that will have Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan step into Govinda and Karisma Kapoor’s shows respectively, a Bhojpuri film of the same title will feature Bhojpuri superstar Khesari Lal Yadav.
The Coolie No 1 Bhojpuri remake has just launched its official trailer.

The film’s trailer shows the story of a man fighting a bad world. From taking responsibility of an old age home, to being a responsible child to all parents there and fighting goons who intend to cause problems, Coolie No 1 looks promising. Caught in a love triangle, the film also has a lot of drama, suspense and local politics revolving around property disputes.
No Bhojpuri film is complete without its songs. This film too has a distinct soundtrack with dance numbers like “Tere Sang Nahi Jaonga Kabhi Hotel, Tu Toh Video Banake Kar Degi Viral” and others.
Lal Babu Pandit’s directorial has been written by Manoj K Kushwaha under the banner of Prakriti Films.
Nobody asked for this remake. Varun Dhawan's 'Chunnari Chunnari' from 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai' has left 90s fans furious, with many saying Salman and Sushmita's original can never be matched.
The film, released on Valentine's Day 2020, had a budget of Rs 50 crore and earned an estimated Rs 52.6 crore. Ali shouldered full blame for its failure and absolved lead actors Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan of any responsibility.
Veteran singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya is not happy with the 'Chunnari Chunnari' remake for Varun Dhawan's film. He says neither the director nor the composer had the courage to tell him about it.
