Inspired, homage or original?

Shah Rukh Khan’s collaboration with south director Atlee has been making news ever since its announcement. Now, rumours are rife that the film, titled Jawan, is inspired by superhits of two Indian cinema legends—Amitabh Bachchan’s Aakhree Raasta (1986), which was an adaptation of Kamal Haasan’s Oru Kaidhiyin Diary. It is being said that both the iconic movies featured the superstars in double roles, of father and son, with revenge as its basic plot. Sources claim that Shah Rukh too plays the father and son in the upcoming commercial entertainer, which has similar conflict points. Sources attribute it to Atlee being a huge fan of Kamal and giving the ’80s hit his own twist and treatment. Whether Jawan is an adaptation or a tribute to the yesteryear hits, or an original story, we will know when the trailer is unveiled in the coming weeks.
