Karan Johar's remake of the 1990 filmAgneepath will be releasing in January 2012, but the theatrical promo of the film will be launched with Salman Khan's Bodyguardtomorrow.
Karan is showing the promo so much in advance because the huge visibility ofBodyguard will ensure the maximum amount of visibility for Agneepath too.
The original Agneepath was produced by Karan's father, who always wanted to remake the film. Karan himself thought Agneepath was a very good film which did not get as much commercial success as it should have. "Agneepath has achieved cult status," says Karan, "so it was a big responsibility to make it again."
When Karan Malhotra, the director of the film, approached him two years ago, Johar was initially afraid of how it would be done, but the fear disappeared when he heard more.
"The way Karan Malhotra (KM) presented and adapted it, I was very excited. I knew that it would hit the bull's eye. Also, it was a new way of looking at Agneepath
