Randhir Ranjan plans to recreate Prakash Mehra’s “Sharaabi” into a musical
It’s learned that plans are afoot by theatre director Randhir Ranjan to rekindle the Prakash Mehra directorial and Amitabh Bachchan starrer “Sharaabi” into a musical.
Amitabh Bachchan’s 1984-blockbuster Sharaabi is still remembered for Bappi Lahiri’s music..
Popular theatre director Randhir Ranjan Roy, who recently highlighted his latest musical love story Kaneez, featuring Siddharth Nigam and Gulki Joshi, has been attempting to rekindle legendary Amitabh Bachchan’s popular 1984 film Sharaabi also featuring Jaya Prada Om Prakash since a long time.
A close source to the director reveals that “Randhir always wanted to recreate the popular film Sharaabi into a musical play as he is a big fan of Bappi Lahiri’s music in the movie, but after his demise in 2022, the director halted his plan to work on it.”
In a bid to revive the stalled project, Randhir is seeking to buy the music rights of the film to fulfill his dream.
The film is a story of a spoilt son, who leads to the path of alcoholism and depression.
The iconic songs of Sharaabi are still a rage in the retro music scene. De De Pyaar De, Inteha Ho Gayi, Mujhe Naulakha Mangawa, Manzilen Apni Jagah Hai are some of the widely popular songs from the film,.
Markedly, It would be interesting to see an amazing film like Sharaabi to come live on stage as a musical if things fall in place for Randhir.
