Mallika Sherawat in Feroz Khan's Kurbani

Who can forget the sensuousness of Zeenat Aman in Feroz Khan's 1980 movie Qurbani in which she played a nightclub dancer named Sheela.

Zeenat's oomph in songs like Laila O Laila and Hum Tumhe Chahte Hain Aise still lingers in the memories of her fans.

Now, Mallika Sherawat is all set to take the daunting task of replaying the same role in Feroz Khan's modern-day remake of the film, titled as Kurbani.

In the film, Mallika will be paired with Fardeen Khan who plays the role enacted by his father in the original film.

Hunt is still on for another hero to play the role enacted by Vinod Khanna. Saif Ali Khan was initially finalized for the part, but the actor opted out of the project due to date problems.

Feroz Khan himself will play the gum-chewing cop, played by Amjad Khan in Qurbani .
