Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh Manjrekar are reuniting after years for a new project. The duo will work together on the Hindi remake of the popular Marathi film Juna Furniture. Their collaboration is set to bring back nostalgic memories for fans.
According to an insider, Mahesh is preparing the remake. He had played the lead role in the original film. The source revealed that Mahesh approached Sanjay Dutt, believing only he can justify the role. Their long-standing friendship also influenced the decision.
Details about production and the release date are yet to be revealed. Still, Sanjay Dutt’s fans are thrilled to watch him team up with Mahesh Manjrekar again.
However, some viewers are not fully satisfied. They feel a remake does not add much value. Many suggested on social media that it would have been better if the duo worked on an original script.
The original film was directed by Mahesh and had a unique theme that connected only with a specific audience. It lacked typical mass elements. This could make the Hindi remake a risky choice, as wider audiences may not engage with it.
Sanjay Dutt’s fans usually prefer to see him in intense, action-packed roles. Since Juna Furniture is more of a niche subject, there is uncertainty about how audiences will respond.
Over the years, Sanjay and Mahesh have delivered cult classics together, including Viruddh, Vaastav, and Kurukshetra. With such a strong history, many fans believe they should consider a sequel to one of these films instead of a remake.
For now, nothing is finalised. It remains to be seen whether Mahesh Manjrekar continues with the remake or makes changes to the plan. Fans are waiting eagerly for an official update.
