"Sanjay Dutt has claimed that the original Agneepath was too far ahead of its time to be successful at the box office. The Bollywood legend takes on the role of an old-fashioned villain in the remake by producer Karan Johar. Dutt told DNA India: &amp;quot;I loved the [original] film and if I was the whole of the audience, I would have made it a big hit. I think maybe the film was too ahead of times. Mukul [Anand] is a brilliant director in his work - his vision was so much ahead of his time. &amp;quot;I have seen original film several times. I lived the dialogues of the film and performances of Amitji [Amitabh Bachchan], Danny [Denzongpa] and Mithun Chakraborty.&amp;quot; Dutt added: &amp;quot;The premise [of the remake] is same. Vijay Dinanth Chauhan, Kancha is there... the revenge story where Vijay comes to Mandwa is same. It is a revenge story but the setting is totally different.  &amp;quot;It is very grounded film... Kancha wears dhoti, kurti and kolhapuri footwear and Vijay is also a simple man. [Director Karan Malhotra] has made it as a very real, grounded and rustic film.&amp;quot;  The actor previously described his role in the movie as his darkest yet. In December, Dutt admitted that he prefers to act in action films over any other genre. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
