As per reports in The Indian Express, Varun had earlier said that he was the most enthused to act in an adaptation of Coolie No. 1 mainly because he thought the original was extremely entertaining. “I had such a good time watching it. It is a family film. It is one of the funniest and most entertaining films I have ever watched. It has an amazing screenplay and starred brilliant actors. We are adapting it. It is not a remake.” Reports also say that Sara and Varun will feature in a rehash of the popular song 'Main Toh Raste Se' . It will be recreated by composer Tanishk Bagchi, who has rehashed songs like _'Poster Lagwa Do'_ from _Luka Chuppi_, _'Shehar Ki Ladki'_ from Khandaani Shafakhana , and '_Khadke Glassy'_ from _Jabariya Jodi_.
