Earlier, talking about the same, Varun told a daily that even though it’s a remake of the old film that featured Govinda and Karisma Kapoor, the story is not exactly the same. He said that the audience should expect a lot of twists in the original story as writer Farhad Samji has added many new things in the narrative.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Varun shared the release date of his upcoming movie as he shared the picture of his character’s badge and captioned it, “Aaj ka Din , Agle Saal Aega Coolie No.1 – Hoga Kamaal (This day, next year Coolie No. 1 will be out and about)!!!
