R Madhavan picks Alia Bhatt and Kartik Aaryan to play Reena and Maddy

When Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (RHTDM) released in 2001, the film failed to create sparks at the box office. What remained with the viewers was the brilliant act of the young newcomer R Madhavan who shone with his natural screen presence in the film, which also starred Saif Ali Khan and Dia Mirza. While there have been rumours of a possible sequel to RHTDM, Madhavan has picked Alia Bhatt and Kartik Aaryan to play the roles of Reena and Maddy in the remake.

During his recent interaction with India Today, Madhavan was asked about his dream cast in RHTDM remake or a sequel. However, the actor said that he doesn’t think a remake will be made. When he was further insisted on naming the cast, he said that Alia and Kartik might be the right fit to reprise the roles of Reena and Maddy. “I don’t think the film will be made, but I don’t know who else I will cast. But maybe, Kartik [Aaryan] and Alia Bhatt, maybe,” he said. Also Read – Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor announce pregnancy: ‘Chat shaadi pat baccha was always the plan’, reveals an insider [Exclusive]

Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein was directed by Gautham Menon. In the film, Dia Mirza made her Bollywood debut. The story revolves around the romance of a boy named Madhav Maddy Shastri and Reena Malhotra, and the film was a remake of the Tamil film, Minnale.

In 2020, Madhavan had reacted to rumours of a possible sequel to RHTDM in a tweet which reads, “# RHTDM ..Guysss …been reading rumors about the sequel .. and hoping it’s true-cause I have no idea about this.. just praying that someone somewhere has an age appropriate script for Dia and I -varna ab madhav shastri banna toh hathi ko chaddi pehnane ke barabar hai (playing the role of Madhav Shastri at this age will be like making and elephant wear an underwear).”

However, many fans didn’t mind the idea of an aging Madhav Shastri. They felt that only Madhavan and Dia can bring alive the screen chemistry. While fans are very much excited and want the sequel to happen, they have requested that the original songs from the movie should be retained and no remix should be made.
