We all know that Varun Dhawan and Sara Ali Khan will be seen as leads in David Dhawan’s directorial Coolie No. 1. The film is a remake of 1995 release with the same name which starred Govinda and Karisma Kapoor in the lead roles. Well, now there’s one more actress who has joined the cast of the remake and she is none other than Shikha Talsania.
Shikha has been a part of movies like Wake Up Sid, Veere Di Wedding, and others. Pooja Entertainment, the producers of the film took to Twitter, to announce that Shikha has joined the cast of the film. They tweeted, “Goofy and bubbly! Meet the cutie, @ShikhaTalsania , a new addition to our #CoolieNo1 family! In cinemas from #1May2020 #8MonthsToCoolieNo1 @varun_dvn #SaraAliKhan #DavidDhawan @vashubhagnani @jackkybhagnani @honeybhagnani @PrimeVideoIN @ZeeMusicCompany.”
In a statement, Shikha has said, "Being a part of a David Dhawan film is on every actor's bucket list and I am no different. And to top that with an opportunity to collaborate with such fantastic actors and people - Varun and Sara - I said yes without batting an eyelid.”
"After Veere Di Wedding, the audience will see me in a totally new lens and that's what makes it more exciting than it already is. I am also thrilled to partner with Pooja Films who are making sure we have an absolute blast at the shoot and I am sure that fun will translate beautifully on screen," the actress added.
While the details about Shikha’s character are not yet known, we wonder if she will be seen as Sara Ali Khan’s sister in the film. In the original movie, Kanchan had played the role of Karisma’s sister. Interestingly, Shikha’s father Tiku Talsania was a part of the original Coolie No. 1.
Reportedly, songs like Husn Hai Suhana and Main Toh Raste Se Ja Raha Tha from the original Coolie No. 1 will be recreated in the remake. A few days ago, Varun had posted a picture on Instagram from the dance rehearsals of the film.
Coolie No. 1 is slated to hit the screens on 1st May 2020.
