Randhir Kapoor has said that he does not want to remake his father Raj Kapoor's 1951 film Awara.
The director claimed that it would be difficult to emulate such a classic film and added that no actor could play the roles as well as Prithviraj Kapoor and Nargisji.
"Many people came to me and my brothers and asked why don't we remake Awara. I told them that it is absolutely impossible to imitate the classic Awara which is loved so much till today," Kapoor told Bollywood World
"Where will I get Prithviraj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor, Nargisji and where will I get that innocent looking Shashi Kapoor? I would be making a fool of myself by trying to imitate the film because I won't have actors of that calibre again, even if I copy it frame by frame."
