“I am super confident about the film’s success. Yeh hit hai boss! I believe I have done justice to the original. However, the remake is not the same, it is my take on the original Himmatwala,” says the 41-year-old who recently unveiled the official trailer of the film on the sets of dance reality show, Nach Baliye 5, which he is co-judging with actor Shilpa Shetty and choreographer Terence Lewis.

On his reasons of choosing Ajay for the role, he says, “When I thought of the word ‘himmatwala’, I couldn’t think of anyone other that Ajay Devgn who could do justice to the role. He is a great actor and can portray emotions, anger and action effectively.”

About what’s next after Himmatwala, Sajid says, “I am yet to finish a portion of Himmatwala. My next project will be with Saif Ali Khan and will most likely go on the floors by June.”
