Abbas-Mastaan brought Baazigar to the Indian theatres in 1993 and the film established itself as a cult classic with its dark-thriller appeal.

Ratan Jain might be willing to utilise the recall factor of this timeless piece of cinema on the big screens again, and maybe with a new touch.

Before Baazigar, Bollywood actors would stick to heroic roles but this film changed the scenario and films like Anjaam and Darr also came after it. Shah Rukh Khan's performance as a grey character was loved by all and his character Vicky Malhotra became a fan favourite.

Outdated Director's Plan To 'Trap' Superstar

You would be surprised to know that before Shah Rukh the film was offered to Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan. Both of them rejected it due to the unavailability of dates or because they didn't agree with the dark theme.

There could only be one Baazigar in Bollywood and as fate had decided it was SRK. The makers have confirmed that they are in talks for reviving it with SRK and there can be an announcement anytime soon.

Bringing back older films has become the rage in Bollywood but wouldn't it end up harming a near masterpiece like Baazigar? It would be interesting to see who is cast in which role, whether the story progresses and we see an older Vicky Malhotra, or something different altogether.
