What if the critics are mean to him and almost wrote him off with his first movie, the producers seem to love Himesh, the actor. After the surprise success of Aap Kaa Suroor, Himesh is all set to star in the reboot version of 1980s Subash Ghai super hit Karzzz (yes, this isn’t a typo, there are three ‘z’s in the new version).

His scout for a lead lady for Karzzz has ended with him zeroing in on producer Indra Kumar’s daughter debutant Shwetha to be cast opposite him.

Himesh will play the role immortalized by Rishi Kapoor – sans his customary cap – and Shwetha, the role played by Tina Munim. Interestingly, Farah - Shah Rukh team’s recent blockbuster Om Shanti Om is also evidently inspired by Karz. Himesh’s Karzzz will be produced by T-Series and directed by Satish Kaushik. Rest of the cast includes Urmila Matondkar, Gulshan Grover, and Rohini Hattangadi.
